DISCUSSION...Latest radar and infrared satellite imagery depict two separate mesoscale convective systems, with a progressive MCS approaching from eastern Kansas, and a much slower one over southern Illinois that has indicated hours of back-building convection. Additional slow moving showers and storms have recently developed between these two areas, with potential for additional backbuilding. There is strong boundary layer moisture convergence just ahead of an incoming cold front, in an environment of PWs between 2.0 to 2.3 inches based on the latest SPC mesoanalysis. Model forecast soundings indicate ample instability feeding into both of these complexes from the southwest, with convection likely to increase in coverage over the next few hours. The latest CAM guidance has improved some since earlier this morning in the depiction of ongoing convection. The 13Z HRRR seems to have a decent initialization of what is currently happening, and this model depicts a few more hours of training convection before the MCS bows out and becomes more progressive.=20 The potential exists for patchy maxima of 3-6 inches through 3 pm CDT. Some instances of flash flooding are likely with the strongest and most persistent convection.
