SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...FROM WATER VAPOR LOOP MAIN FEATURES
ARE SUBTROPICAL JET AXIS EASTERN PACIFIC ACROSS CENTRAL MEXICO...ACROSS
LOUISIANA TO CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA TO OFF THE SE VA COAST.  MAIN VORT
LIFTING NORTH THRU E KY WITH SHORT WAVE TROUGH TRYING TO PUSH THRU
SE KY...E TN...SW NC.  BAROCLINIC LEAF TYPE CLOUD SIGNATURE WHERE
STEADIEST PRECIP FALLING ON SOUTHERN EDGE OF COOLER CLOUDS TOPS MARKING
HEAVIEST PRECIP S WV THRU S VA AND N NC.  BUT WHERE JET JET CROSSES
TROUGH...GETTING A SLIGHTLY HIGHER PRECIP RATE VIC OF N SC/S CENTRAL NC.
STILL LOTS OF DISORGANIZATION OF UPPER FEATURES AND DEEPEST MOISTURE
WELL TO THE SOUTH WITH BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT FLORIDA INTO THE
COASTAL CAROLINAS.   BUT SOMETIMES WHERE THE BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT
IS NOT NECESSARILY WHERE THE WORST WEATHER OCCURS...SO WILL BE KEYING
ON OVERRUNNING SNOW IN BAROCLINIC LEAF WORKING ITS WAY NORTH THRU VA
AND WEST VIRGINIA AND HEADING TOWARD C/N MD AND S PA AND N DELAWARE.
AND WITH ORIENTATION OF LEAF WEST TO EAST AND UPPER FLOW ABOUT THE
SAME...TRAINING CELLS COULD BE A PROBLEM ACROSS N WV...C AND N MD...
N VA...S PA/N DELAWARE AFTER THE PRECIP BEGINS AND BEFORE ANY POSSIBLE
MIX OR CHANGEOVER.    WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
