SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST TRMM RAIN RATES AT 1310Z HAD A
CLUSTER OF 10KM RESOLUTION AREAL AVG RAIN RATES OF 0.15" TO 0.23"/HR
ABOUT A DEG WIDE CENTERED NEAR 37N/128W POINTING TOWARD THE AREA JUST
NORTH OF SFO BAY TO CAPE MENDOCINO. TREND IN TRMM RAIN RATES PAST 15HRS
HAS BEEN SLIGHT LOWERING OF RAIN RATES AS THIS AREA HAS BROKEN AWAY FROM
MAIN WX SYSTEM NEAR AND NE OF HAWAII.  LATEST AMSU 16KM AREAL AVG RAIN
RATES GENERALLY UNDER 0.1"/HR...SO RESOLUTION AND DUAL POLAR NATURE OF
NAS TRMM MAYBE BETTER RESPRESENTATION OF MAX RATES WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM.
THIS SYSTEM THAT BROKE AWAY FROM HAWAII SYSTEM PROVIDES THE MOISTURE AND
ENERGETICS FOR GOES WATER VAPOR SHORT WAVE PUSHING JUST EAST OF 135W
43N THAT CONTINUES TO TRACK ESE. JET ACROSS FAR N CA AND HIGH LEVEL
SHORT WAVES PROVIDING LIFT FOR PRECIP THIS MORNING N CA  MOSTLY FROM
JUST NORTH OF THE NORTH BAY AREA TO CA-OR BORDER.  WEAK HIGH LEVEL SHORT
WAVE CENTRAL CA ALIGNED WITH HIGHEST MOISTURE LEFT OVER FROM REMAINS OF
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROVIDE LIFT AND MOISTURE OUTPUT ON RADAR EAST OF BAY
AREA AND INTO THE S SIERRAS.     WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
