ENTRANCE REGION OF THE 140-160KT JET.  IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR
43N/135W MOVING NE ALONG THE COLD FRONT.  CURRENTLY THINKING THE TRACK
OF THIS WAVE LOOKS TO LEAD INTO THE WA COAST..HOWEVER IT WILL HELP TO
BRING MOISTURE INTO THE OR COAST AS WELL...ESPECIALLY WITH THE 120 KT JET
REALLY BEGINNING TO PUSH THE SRN END OF THE FRONT EWD.  MW IMAGERY SHOWING
NOTHING NEW SINCE PREVIOUS MESSAGE..PW'S OF .9"-1.1" WITH .15"-.20" RAIN
RATES ASSOCIATED WITH AREAS OF CONVECTION ALONG FRONT.  WHILE THIS WAVE
IS PROGRESSING VERY QUICKLY...EXPECTING PERIODS OF MOD/HVY RAIN ALONG THE
COAST AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN ON WA/OR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
