EVENT...MOIST BAND STRETCHING WITH HVY RAIN CONTINUING MONTANA...EXPECT
FILLING IN OF MORE PRECIP N WY/W SD LATER TODAY...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...PW MOISTURE PLUME CONTINUES IN PLACE
KS/W MO TO SD AND BACK INTO MONTANA AND N WY.  AS VORT HAS MOVED NORTH
THRU SOUTH DAKOTA...TEMPORAILY LIGHTENING OF PRECIP GOING ON THERE WITH
DEEPER MOISTURE PUSHED OFF TO THE WEST THRU MONTANA AND WILL KEEP STEADY
PRECIP GOING THERE MOST OF THE DAY.   SOUTHERN FRINGES OF MOISTURE BAND
AND CLOUDS AND SOUTHWARD INTO WYOMING EXPECTED TO FILL IN WITH PRECIP
LATER TODAY AND ALSO W SD AS NEXT SERIES OF SHORT WAVES ROTATING AROUND
EAST SIDE OF THE LOW NEAR NV-SE CA BORDER MOVE NORTH THRU W CO DURING
THE DAY.   THIS SHOULD HELP SPARK MORE PRECIP JUST SOUTH OF THE MOIST
BAND AND ALLOW PRECIP TO FILL IN ACROSS N HALF OF WY INTO S MT THIS
AFTERNOON AND THUS FLOOD POTENTIAL SHOULD CONTINUE N WY INTO MONTANA FOR
THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR PROGRESS OF SHORT WAVE
DESTABILZERS COMING NORTH THRU THE CENTRAL ROCKIES ON EAST SIDE OF LARGE
TROUGH IN THE WEST AS THESE WILL BE THE FORCING MECHANISMS THAT WILL USE
HIGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HVY PRECIP AND CONTINUE FLOOD THREAT.
