SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LARGE UPPER TROF OFFSHORE OREGON /N CA
COAST HAS BROUGHT SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE (NEAR 2 STANDARD DEVS ABOVE NORMAL
AT 00Z) NORTH REACHING N CA AND S OREGON YESTERDAY AND N OREGON/WA BY THIS
EVENING.  COLDEST CLOUD TOPS OF NEAR -53C WERE CENTERED IN YAKIMA/PIERCE
COUNTY TO S KING COUNTY.  SATELLITE TECHNIQUES WOULD NORMALLY LOWER THE
RAIN ESTIMATES BECAUSE OF THE RELATIVE WIDE SPREAD IN THE LOW LEVELS
BETWEEN THE TEMP AND DEW POINT...BUT STILL COULD BE SOME LOCALIZED RAIN
RATES OF 0.3"-0.7" PER HR IN THE LEWIS TO S KING COUNTY AREA...POSSIBLY
SLIGHTLY HIGHER BECAUSE OF SLOW MOVEMENT RESULTING IN HIGHLY ISOLATED
FLOODING.    WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ADDITIONAL CELLS THAT CAN IMPACT
KING AND ESPECIALLY S KING COUNTY NEXT 1-2HRS...BUT WOULD EXPECT GRADUAL
WEAKENING AND LOWERING RAIN RATES WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
