SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTION WHICH MOVED SEWD FM IL HAD
BRIEFLY SHOWN SOME WARMING OF CLOUD TOPS AS IT CROSSED THE IN/KY BORDER.
HOWEVER...CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEGUN TO RAPIDLY COOL AGAIN OVER THE PAST HR..
INDICATING THAT IT IS REINTENSIFYING. THE COLDEST TOPS ARE IN THE AREA FM
E OF OWB TO SE OF FTK.  STLT WINDS AND GOES WV IMAGERY ANIMATION SHOW
UPPER DIFFLUENCE OVER THE AREA..AS WELL AS STRONG UPPR LEVEL JET WITH A
SERIES OF JET STREAKS. CONVECTION IS ALSO BEING SUPPORTED BY LOW LEVEL
JET.  THE HYDROESTIMATOR INDICATES RAIN RATES OF UP TO 2"/HR. HOWEVER..
SINCE CELLS HAVE BEEN MOVG STEADILY..THE HYDROESTIMATOR IS INDICATING
RAINFALL TOTALS BTWN 03-04Z OF UP TO 1.2".  THE LATEST IMAGE AT 0415Z
SHOWS A FURTHER INTENSIFICATION..WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL ESTIMATED
OVER BRREDKINRIDGE/GRAYSON TO LARUE COUNTIES.  CURRENT STLT TRENDS..AND
ORIENTATION OF LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE CONTOURS SUGGEST THAT THE CORE OF
THE HEAVY CONVECTION IS TARGETED FOR CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL KY OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HRS...AND COULD PSBLY SPREAD INTO TN LATER ON.
. 
1 HOUR HYDRO-ESTIMATOR TOTALS ARE ON AWIPS UNDER 1 HOUR AUTO SPE.
