EVENT...IMPULSES THAT WILL WRING OUT THE UNUSUALLY HIGH SUBTROPICAL PW
MOISTURE IN THE NEXT 24HRS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WON'T REHASH DEEP MOISTURE PLUME AS
DESCRIPTION FROM LAST MESSAGE HOLDS UP FINE.   ONLY WILL INDICATE THAT
LATEST AMSU PASS SHOWED A SMALL MAX VALUES OF UP TO 1.35" NEAR 49N/130W
AND IF ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT GET CLOSE TO THE PACIFIC NW...WE WILL SEE
NEAR RECORD PW VALUES IN NW WA AND SUSPECT SOME OF THAT CLIMO HIGH WILL
TRANSLATE EAST AND SE FROM THERE ON WED...
WITH DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT VERY GOOD AND KEEPING
THE SUPPLY CHAIN WATER HOSE FILLED...A LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL SHORT WAVE
WAVES...OR AT LEAST SOME OF THEM THAT WILL PUT THE SQUEEZE ON THE COLUMN
MOISTURE IS IN ORDER.   HERE GOES:  ONE SHORT WAVE WITH ENHANCED CLOUDS
NOW APPROACHING NW WA AND WILL MOVE INLAND SHORTLY.  SECOND AND THIRD
FAST MOVING HIGH LEVEL SHORT WAVES WERE ABOUT 4 DEGS LAT APART WITH EAST
ONE PUSHING PAST 130W AND WEST ONE JUST PAST 135W.
LITTLE FUZZIER OR BLURRIER WEST OF 135W BUT MAYBE ANOTHER HIGH LEVEL SHORT
WAVE AT 140W NEAR 47N WITH TRAILING SHORT WAVE 44N/144W TO 40N/147W.
WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON SHORT WAVE 40N/160W AND WHAT EFFECTS IT
MAY HAVE AS IT GETS CLOSER TO JET NOW CROSSING 40N/153W AND BAROCLINIC
BOUNDARY AT THE SAME TIME CROSSING 40N AT 146W.  THAT SHORT WAVE BACK AT
160W WAS TRYING TO CATCH UP TO BOTH THE JET AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF A FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPS LATER TONIGHT
OR WED.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...SEE ANALYSIS GRAPHIC ON HOME PAGE AT ADDRESS
