EVENT...E PORTION OF MCS INTENSIFYING OVER E NE..WILL MERGE WITH IA STMS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLOUD TOPS WITH MCS HAVE COOLED FURTHER
AND EXPANDED AS THE LEADING EDGE PUSHES INTO E NE. NUMEROUS OVERSHOOTING
TOPS ARE LOCATED NR/N OF LNK..WITH ANOTHER INTENSE OVERSHOOTING TOP
NE OF OFK. OLD CLUSTER OF TSTMS OVER IA HAVE EDGED A BIT E WHILE ALSO
INTENSIFYING. HOWEVER..MOST RECENT IMAGE AT 0130Z SHOWS NEW CLOUD TOP
COOLING ALONG THE SW IA/NE BORDER NR OMA.  WOULD EXPECT THE NEB AND
SW IA CNVTN TO BRIDGE/MERGE OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS.. WITH VERY HVY
RAINFALL. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE COLDNESS OF THE CLOUD TOPS..HIGH
DEW POINTS AND PW'S..AND MERGERS..STLT TECHNIQUE SUGGESTS THAT 1-1.5"
CAN OCCUR IN A HALF HR AND 2-3" ADDITIONAL TOTALS. AS FOR NE NEB..WITH
RECENT COOLING OF TOPS THERE..HVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY TO EXPAND ALONG
THE NE NEB/IA BORDER AREA AS WELL.
