.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...FROM VARIOUS MICROWAVE SENSORS LEADING
EDGE OF RAIN WITH NEXT SYSTEMS'S WARM FRONT HAD MOVED FROM 39N/142W
TO 46N/150W AT 2238Z TO 40N/137W TO 47N/142W AT 0520Z.  XTRAPLOATION
BRINGS LIGHT PRECIP TO THE SW OREGON COAST AS EARLY AS 19Z...21Z CENTRAL
OREGON COAST...00Z NW OREGON/SW WA COAST...WHICH COULD BE A BIT FASTER
THAN MODELS.    SMALL AREA OF 1.4"-1.6" PW MAX HAS BECOME EMBEDDED IN
THE FRONTAL BAND NEAR OCCLUSION AND SHORT ENERGY WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE
ENOUGH LIFT FOR MICROWAVE RAIN RATES MAXING OUT AT 0.3"/HR BUT MORE
GENERALLY IN THE 0.1"-0.2"/HR RATE WITH BACK EDGE OF WARM FRONT THAT
WILL BE HEADING FOR THE W OREGON COAST LATER TODAY.  MOISTURE TRANSPORT
SUGGESTS A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM...BUT INTENSE PRECIP FOR AT LEAST A SHORT
TIME WITH INTERACTION WARM AND COLD FRONT.  FRONTAL PLUME FRACTURING
SOME ON LATEST PW LOOP...BUT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE ENTRAINED WHICH WOULD
FURTHER SUPPORT A PROGRESSIVE BUT INTENSE PRECIP EVENT INTO OREGON AND
WA WHERE JET AXIS CROSSES FRONT THAT WILL BE HEADING FOR N OREGON AND
W WA LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING.   WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR..
