SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SATELLITE WIND DATA FROM PAST 12HRS
SHOWED CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE HAD DRIFTED FROM 41.5N/144W AT
0444Z TO NEAR 39/40N/137W AT 11Z WITH STRONGEST WINDS DEPICTED BY
AMSR-E WINDS NEAR 47N/127.5W AT 11Z WITH CORE AREA SLOWLY WORKING TO
WA/OREGON BORDER COAST.  CONTINUED NWLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE OROGRAPHIC
SNOWS INTO CASCADES.  BEST ENHANCEMENT OF CLOUD TOPS INTO CASCADES
OF CENTRAL AND S WA.  MORE COLD AIR CU SEEMS TO BE HEADING ACROSS NW
AND W CENTRAL OREGON THAN W CENTRAL AND NW WA...BUT NOT TRANSLATING
INTO COOLER CLOUD TOPS FOR CASCADES OF OREGON...BUT THINK SNOWS MAYBE
JUST AS GOOD CASCADES OF N OREGON THRU THIS MORNING.  OBVIOUSLY WITH
CONTINUED TREND OF HIGH MIGRATING EAST AND STRONG WINDS ALONG THE COAST
CONTINUING TO SHIFT EAST AS WELL WITH LOWER SPEEDS LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...OROGRAPHIC SNOWS WILL WEAKEN.
