SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...COMPACT UPPER LOW IS SEEN IN WV IMAGERY
CROSSING NEAR THE N CENTRAL WA/S BC BORDER WITH A MOISTURE PLUME WELL
OUT AHEAD OF IT THAT EXTENDS FROM NW MT/N ID THROUGH SE OR. RECENT GOES
SOUNDER PW'S INDICATE 0.6-0.7" VALUES OVER N ID/NW MT WITH AT OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE 0.8" PW'S IN NE WA BUT 12Z PW ANALYSIS DID SHOW 1" PW AT YLW IN
BC. PW VALUES INCREASE TO NEAR 1" AS WELL INTO THE MTNS OF NW MT. LI'S
OF -2 ALSO ARE PRESENT IN NE WA/N ID/NW MT. VIS SHOWS BEST GROWTH OF
CELLS OCCURRING OVER N CENTRAL WA INVOF OKANOGAN/N FERRY COUNTIES THOUGH
EXPECT NRN PART OF STEVENS/PEND OREILLE COUNTIES TO ALSO GET IN ON THE
ACTION IN NEXT FEW HRS. NEW GROWTH FILLING IN BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL CELLS
IS BEGINNING TO FORM SMALL MERGING CLUSTERS. IR SHOWS THAT THE STORMS
HAVE NOT MOVED MUCH SINCE FORMING AND MAY REMAIN NRLY STNRY WITH SFC
ANALYSIS INDICATING 1014.9MB SFC LOW OVER CENTRAL OKANOGAN COUNTY. MANUEL
STLT ESTIMATES INDICATE RAIN RATES OF UP TO 0.5"/HR BUT WITH THE CELLS
SEEN FILLING IN/BUILDING SWD MERGERS MAY OCCUR AND RAINS WILL ACCUMULATE
QUICKLY WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT. THOUGH NOT AS MUCH OF A CHC FOR HVY RAINS
IN N ID/W MT..THE MOISTURE PLUME OVER THE AREA WILL STILL ALLOW FOR SOME
TSTORMS BUT THEIR FASTER MOVEMENT SHOULD KEEP RAINFALL TOTALS DOWN. SEE
