EVENT...LAST REMAINING VORT...SNOW WILL GRADUALLY END WITH PASSAGE...
NEXT SYSTEM FOR LATER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CURRENT VORT MOVING INTO VANCOUVER
ISLAND...STILL QUITE A BIT OF CU OFFSHORE WITH VORT SO EXPECT SHOWERY
PRECIP TO CONTINUE MOST OF THIS MORNING OLYMPICS AND CASCADES WITH
GRADUAL DECREASING PRECIP WITH PASSAGE OF VORT TO THE NORTH ACROSS S
BRITISH COLUMBIA AND RIDGING AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM.  BACK EDGE OF 0.50"
PW AREA ALSO GRADUALLY MAKING EASTWARD PROGRESS AND NOW MOSTLY EAST OF
LINE ROM 51N/131W TO THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST AND WITH CONTINUED EAST
PROGRESS THAT WILL ALSO HELP REMOVE THE MOISTURE INGREDIENT FOR CURRENT
INSTABILITY SHOWERY PRECIP LATER TODAY.
NEXT SYSTEM HAS MADE STEADY PROGRESS...EXTRAPOLATION WOULD HAVE LEADING
EDGE OF PRECIP AHEAD OF OCCLUSION COMING TO THE COAST BY 00Z...BUT THINK
RIDGING OUT AHEAD WILL SLOW PROGRESS BY ABOUT 3-6HRS...BUT NOT TOO MUCH
MORE THAN THAT AS SYSTEM UPSTREAM WITH JET NOSING TO 170W NOW  TRYING
TO ACT AS A KICKER.  BUT MAIN ENERGY NOT MOVING MUCH AND HANGING BACK AT
THE DATELINE.  NEXT SYSTEM MOSTLY AN OCCLUSION FRONT THAT HAS PICKED UP
ADDITIONAL PW MOISTURE FROM SOUTHERN EXTENT OF FRONT THAT CAME THRU LATE
LAST NIGHT.   OCCLUSION'S PW MOISTURE ABOUT 1.25" AND FRONTAL PW MOISTURE
PLUME ABOUT 1.35" AND SO A LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIP EVENT ON TAP FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT/LATER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH THIS SYSTEM.
ALL MICROWAVE SENSORS HAD SOME CONVECTIVE RAIN AMOUNTS WITH OCCLUSION
AND DEFORMATION ON NORTH AND NW SIDE OF WRAP AROUND LOW...BUT DON'T
THINK THOSE CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS IN THE RATES CURRENTLY BEING DETECTED
WILL MAKE IT TO THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
