.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WHILE TSTMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVER SE
SD THRU W MN OVER THE PAST FEW HRS..NEW STMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP OVER N
NEB THRU NE SD. THE TSTMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING/OCCURRING INVOF SFC
BOUNDARY..WITH OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS SFC CONVERGENCE THRU THE ENTIRE
DISCUSSION AREA. COPIOUS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE..WITH GOES
SOUNDER IMAGERY SHOWING INCRG COVERAGE OF HIGH PW VALUES...GENERALLY BTWN
1.3-1.5" WITH SOME SPOTS OF 1.5"PLUS.  THESE VALUES ARE AROUND 150 PER
CENT OF NORMAL OR HIGHER FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.  
.
ONE OF THE MAIN CATALYSTS FOR THE INCRG CONVECTION OVER THE S AND CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE DISCUSSION AREA IS THE INTRUSION OF THE TROPICAL UPPR
LEVEL JET. GOES WV IMAGERY ANIMATION SHOWS THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
TROPICAL PLUME/JET..EMANATING FROM TS HOWARD..HAS NOW REACHED THE NE NEB/
SE SD AREA. FURTHER N..CONVECTION OVER ND AND MN HAS CONTINUED TO ENHANCE
AS SHORT WAVE MOVG ACRS ND PROVIDES ADDITIONAL LIFT..IN ADDITION TO BEING
CLOSE TO FAVORED RT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER JET STREAK EXTENDING FM S
CANADA THRU E ND/W MN.
.
FOR SE ND..NE SD..MN...IN ADDITION TO ABOVE FACTORS..30KT+ LLJ PER
PROFILER DATA OVER NEB ADVECTING THETA-E INTO NE SD/SE ND/MN FAVORS
FURTHER ENHANCEMENT OF THE CONVECTION..ALONG WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF CELL
TRAINING AND MERGERS. EVEN THOUGH FFG VALUES ARE FAIRLY HIGH TO
START..FLOODING COULD STILL BE AN ISSUE FOR SOME LOCATIONS WHERE ANY
PROLONGED CELL TRAINING AND MERGERS OCCUR TONIGHT. RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1-
3" COULD BE COMMON..WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS PSBL.
.
FOR NEB/SE SD...HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO INDICATED FOR THIS AREA AS WELL. IN
ADDITION TO THE STMS ALREADY DEVELOPING..STMS HAVE ALSO BEEN FORMING OVER
SW TO S CENTRAL NEB. MOVEMENT IS TWD THE NE..AND THEY COULD MERGE WITH
THE N NEB STMS.
