.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE SHOWED TROUGH IN THE WEST
AND LOW NEAR THE NV-CA-AZ BORDER RETROGRADING SLOWLY WEST IN RESPONSE TO
CONTINUED VERY UNSEASONABLE STRONG HIGH LEVEL WINDS ON WEST SIDE OF THE
TROUGH AS PER SATELLITE WINDS OF NEAR 180KTS AT 23Z AND 00Z RADIOSONDE
WIND AT 300MB OF 165KTS NEAR OAK. THIS SAYS TO ME THAT MOISTURE PLUME
CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND KANSAS WILL MAKE ONLY SMALL EAST PROGRESS OVERNIGHT
AND PLUME EXTENDING NORTH INTO SW SD TO CENTRAL MT/
NE AND N CENTRAL WY WILL MAKE NO EASTWARD PROGRESS AND COULD RETROGRADE
WEST. THIS INSURE A PIPELINE OF DEEP MOISTURE TO CONTINUE TO FLOW
NORTHWEST INTO SW SD/NE AND N CENTRAL WY/SE TO CENTRAL MONTANA AND
MAYBE EVEN FURTHER WEST ESPECIALLY WITH RETROGRADING OF MOISTURE AT
THAT LATITUDE LATER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THAT WILL JUST INSURE CONTINUED
MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM DEEP MOISTURE ORIGINS AS FAR SOUTH AND EAST AS E
TX/E OK AND BEING TRANSPORTED THRU KS...NEBRASKA AND THEN CONVEYOR BELT
STYLE BACK INTO W/SW SD AND MONTANA AND AT LEAST N WY TO
POSSIBLY EASTERN IDAHO. OROGRAPHIC LIFT...ESPECIALLY IN N WY AND CENTRAL
MONTANA WILL FURTHER ENHANCE PRECIP AMOUNTS INCREASING THE AREAL EXTENT
OF FLOODING. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
