THRU S CENTRAL OREGON HAD IT ORIGINS IN THE SUBTROPICAL EAST PACIFIC
SEVERAL DAYS AGO AND AT 15Z ON JUNE 29 WAS AT 30N/133W.  THE HISTORY ALL
ALONG WITH THIS VORT HAS BEEN FOR HIGHER SUBTROPICAL PW MOISTURE TO BE
ENTRAINED INTO VORT AND OUT AHEAD WITH MAX VALUES IN THE 1.0"-1.1" RANGE.
THAT HAS SHOWED UP IN THE GOES SOUNDER PW DATA THIS MORNING  WITH MAX PW
VALUES IN THAT SIMILAR RANGE NEAR AND AHEAD OF THE UPPER VORT HEADING
TOWARD E WA AND N IDAHO.  GOES SOUNDER LIS WERE ALEADY NEAR -1 IN SE
WA INTO INTERIOR N IDAHO AND -2 TO -3 NEAR AND JUST EAST OF THE VORT.
SO THE VORT WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING N/NE...INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE AND INCREASING PW MOISTURE THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE CLIMO FOR
THE AREA ALMOST 2 STANDARD DEVS ABOVE NORMAL WITH HELP INCREASE PRECIP
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY WILL ALSO BE A
DIFFLUENT FLOW AS DEPICTED BY CURRENT SATELLITE CLOUD DRIFT WINDS OVER THE
