SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATING THAT THE
MOISTURE PLUME IS BEGINNING TO GET CUTOFF BY THE UPPER LOW OFF THE CA
COAST AND THE THROUGH/LOW S OF ALASKA AND OFF THE BC COAST RESPECTIVELY.
HOWEVER, MICROWAVE IMAGERY STILL SHOWING STEADY PATCH OF .03"/HR -
.08"/HR AREAL RAIN RATES WITH THE PW PLUME SHOWING 1.2" MAX VALUES.
GOES-11 IR IMAGERY SHOWING A GENERAL WARMING TREND WITH THE PLUME
OFFSHORE...HOWEVER AS EXPECTED THE HIGH TERRAIN IS STILL ALLOWING FOR
HEAVIER RATES PER COOLING TOPS.  WATER VAPOR AND IR IMAGERY INDICATING
THAT THE PRECIP HAS BEGUN TO SWING SOUTH TO FOCUS MORE OVER NRN CA/EXTREME
SW OR AS THE TROUGH PUSHES ON THE SRN EDGE AND THE LOW OFF THE CA COAST
BEGINS TO SHARPEN JUST A LITTLE.  THINKING MODERATE RAINS WILL CONTINUE
FOR THE BETTER HALF OF TONIGHT OVER NRN CA/SW OR WITH OCCASIONAL HEAVY
PRECIP ALONG THE COAST AND IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
