DERECHO MCS LINE THAT STARTS AT 1101 ON 23 JULY 2005 AND ENDS AT
2130 UTC ON 23 JULY 2005.

THE DERECHO COMPOSITE PARAMETER VALUES AND PATTERNS ARE SIMILAR
BETWEEN THE RUC40X FORECASTS AND THE SFCOA ANALYSIS.

CONCERNING THE MAINTENANCE AND SPEED PARAMETERS...THE INFO BELOW
DESCRIBES THEM. 

THE 1100 UTC VALUES ARE VERY HIGH...AND THEY FALL TREMENDOUSLY AT
1200 UTC.  COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE NEW 1200 UTC RAOB DATA BEING
ENTERED INTO THE SYSTEM?

THE VALUES ACROSS MN AND WRN WI SEEM TO BE A LOT LOWER THAN THE
VALUES WITH THE RUC FORECAST.  THERE IS AN INCREASE OVER WRN WI AS
WAS SIMILAR WITH THE RUC FORECAST AND THE PATTERNS OF CHANGE AFTER
1200 UTC ARE SIMILAR ALTHOUGH THE VALUES ARE SMALLLER WITH THE
SFCOA.

NOTE THE SFCOA VALUES ARE OBTAINED BY USING THE INITIAL RUC40X
ANALYSIS FOR EACH HOUR.

FOR DERECHO MCS LINE FROM 1101 UTC 23 JULY 2005 UNTIL 2159 UTC 23
JULY 2005.

FOR ALL PARAMETERS THE BOW ECHO STARTED AT HIGH VALUES AND THE BOW
ECHO WAS IN THE AXIS OF HIGHEST VALUES AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE
AXIS.  THE VALUES FALL OFF TO THE EAST..BUT THE VALUES FOR
MAINTENANCE AND SPEED DO INCREASE WITH TIME INTO WRN WI MAKING THE
VALUES INCREASE WITH THE BOW ECHO IN THAT AREA.  THE BOW ECHO MOVES
AWAY FROM THE AXIS OF HIGHEST VALUES NEAR INITIATION AND INTO THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE GRADIENT WITH THE LOWEST VALUES NEAR THE NORTH
END OF THE BOW ECHO ACROSS E CENTRAL MN AND WRN WI.   THE VALUE
LINES RUN N/S OVER ERN WI...SO THE VALUES WITH THE BOW ECHO FALL OFF
RAPIDLY IN THE AREA AND THE BOW ECHO TURNS MOVE TOWARDS THE SOUTH
BECAUSE OF A LACK OF INSTABILITY TO THE NORTH AND EAST.
