EVENT...PRECIPITATION TRENDS WITH SYSTEM TRACKING ACROSS IOWA INTO THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SYSTEM HAS EVOLVED IN A COUPLE OF
DISTINCTIVE WAYS OVERNIGHT. FIRST..MORE MOISTURE HAS FED INTO IT AS HAS
BEEN SEEN IN IR AND DERIVED PW TRENDS. AS LEADING EDGE OF HIGHER MOISTURE
AS DEPICTED BY LOW/MID LEVEL CLOUDS HIT WELL DEFINED E/W ORIENTED FNTL
BOUNDARY LYING ACRS SRN IL/IN/OH RESPONSE WAS SEEN IN RADAR DEPICTION
AS EXPANSIVE AREA OF PRECIP. TREND CONTS AS AREA OF COOLING CLD TOPS
EXPANDS OVER ERN IN.
.
ADLY..VORT STRUCTURE HAS EVOLVED WITH INITIAL VORT WELL DEFINED IN WV
IMAGERY OVER EXTRM SE NE AND A NEW VORT DEVELOPING NR MO/IL/IA BORDER WITH
SIGNIFICANT WV DARKENING NOTED UPSTREAM FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT. EFFECTIVELY
THIS HAS ELONGATING VORT STRUCTURE ALG E/W AXIS. DEVELOPING VORT IS
BETTER SUPPORTED BY UPR LEVEL JET AXIS WITH SPD MAX ENTERING SW MO. AS
LEFT FRONT QUAD LIFTS NEWRD EXPECT SOME ADL DEVELOPMENT/ENHANCEMENT OF
PRECIP ACRS NRN HALF OF IN INTO NW OH. STRUNG OUT NATURE OF SYSTEM..WITH
INITIAL VORT STILL HANGING BACK IN CENTRAL IA..MEANS PRECIP (MAINLY
SNOW ACRS NRN PORTIONS) WILL LINGER FOR QUITE SOME TIME AFTER HEAVIEST
PERIOD OF ACCUMULATION SHIFTS FURTHER EAST. EXPECT HEAVIEST PRECIP FOR
NEXT FEW HOURS TO BE OVER E CENTRAL AND NE IN AND ACROSS NRN HALF OF OH.
