SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST 2 MICROWAVE PASSES SHOWING
A DECREASE OF THE MOISTURE ALONG THE FRONT WHICH THE NRN EDGE IS NOW
LOCATED NEAR 128W-130W.  HIGHEST PW VALUES N OF 35N ARE NO HIGHER THAN
1.05" AND AREAL AVERAGE RAIN RATES ARE AROUND .03"/HR N OF 40N AND BECOME
VERY SPOTTY S OF THAT LATITUDE.  STILL EXPECTING MODERATE RAIN/HVY SNOW
AT TIMES OVERNIGHT...MAINLY IN WRN WA AS THE BEST MOISTURE/ HIGHER RAIN
RATES..UP TO .25"/HR AREAL AVERAGE ARE LOCATED WITH THE WARM FRONT.
WILL NOT DELVE TOO FAR INTO THE FUTURE...BUT RIGHT NOW THINKING THE
MOISTURE WILL HANG AROUND FOR THE NEXT DAY AT LEAST AS A POTENT 180KT JET
IS DIGGING ON THE WRN SIDE OF OCCLUDED LOW S OF AK WHICH SHOULD SEND SOME
WAVES/IMPULSES AROUND THE RIDGE AND TOWARDS THE FRONT..ONE OF WHICH IS
LOCATED ABOUT 35N/145W.  THINKING THIS SHOULD BRING SOME OF THE BETTER
RAINS S INTO OR/CA AS THE RAIN EVENT CONTINUES INTO TOMORROW.
