ATTN RFCS...NWRFC...CNRFC...
.
EVENT...NEXT SYSTEM WITH HIGH MOISTURE POINTED TOWARD N CA AND DYNAMICS
A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...NEXT UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM CHUGGING ALONG
AND AIDED STRONG JET NOSING TO 45N/130W.  LEADING EDGE OF PRECIP FOR
NORTHWEST ABOUT HERE OR JUST WEST OF 130W NOW CLOSE TO 0.6" PW VALUE.
AND LEADING EDGE OF PRECIP FOR NW CA JUST GETTING BEYOND 40-45N/135W.
SEEM FAR AWAY TO THE COAST BUT SYSTEM COMING QUICKLY AND WILL MOVE INTO
COASTAL WA/OR MIDDLE OF NIGHT OR SOONER NORTHWEST AND NW CA LATER TONIGHT.
MOISTURE TRANSPORT MUCH BETTER WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESPECIALLY ALONG PW
MOISTURE PLUME THAT EXTENDS FROM AT LEAST 30N/DATELINE TO 38N/`60W TO ITS
NOSE 38/42N TO 135W.  JET AXIS POINTING BEST INSTABILITY A LITTLE NORTH
OF MAX MOISTURE PLUME AND POINTING A FINGER AT NW CA AND SW TO W CENTRAL
OREGON WITH BEST DYNAMICS AND MORE MODERATE MOISTURE NW OREGON INTO W WA.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
