SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE HAD UPPER LOW MOVING SLOWLY
EAST ACROSS CENTRAL TO EASTERN MT.  HUGE ANOMALOUS UPPER LOW HAVING THE
EFFECT OF BRINGING DEEP PW MOISTURE FROM AS FAR AWAY AS MINNESOTA (PWS
CLOSE TO 1.7" AND NEARLY 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL) AND CARRYING CONVEYOR
BELT STYLE ACROSS S WINNEPEG...SASKATCHWAN...S ALBERTA RIGHT INTO
W MONTANA...N IDAHO AND EXT E WASHINGTON.  THOUGH RAIN RATES NOT VERY
HIGH...FETCH AND AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFT ALLOWING FOR
STEADY PRECIP AMOUNTS THAT MAY ALLOW STREAMS TO RISE A BIT...ESPECIALLY
IN HIGHER ELEVATION AREAS THAT MAY ALSO HAVE SOME SNOW BELT.  JUST THE
SHEAR PERSISTENCE OF CONVEYOR BELT OF MOISTURE INTO SAME AREA WITH
MOISTURE CLOSE TO THE 75 PERCENTILE OF NORMAL IN THAT W MT...N ID...EXT
E WA AREA WILL CONTINUE SLIGHT CONCERN FOR MODERATE PRECIP BURSTS THAT
CAN HEIGHTEN FLOOD THREAT IN THIS GENERAL AREA.    WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...SEE SATELLITE ANALYSIS GRAPHIC ON HOME PAGE AT ADDRESS BELOW...
