Today turned out to be fairly active day in the Kansas City and St Louis CWA's. Deep convection began fairly early in the afternoon in the Kansas City area, leading that group into warning operations and heavy use of the 1-min imagery, ProbSevere and Lightning Jump. The St Louis group had a lot more time early in the shift to interrogate tools such as 1-min imagery, CI, NUCAPS, LAP, and the satellite-derived winds, before eventually transitioning to warning ops.
The 1-min visible animation below depicts the ongoing deep convection across S Iowa and N Missouri, with newer development along the Missouri/Illinois border.
