SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...NOT A WHOLE LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST
MESSAGE.  MICROWAVE IMAGERY STILL SHOWING MOISTURE PLUME WITH MAX AMOUNT
RANGING FROM 1.4"-1.7".  SHTWVE LOOKS TO BE JUST E OF 150W..ALTHOUGH
IS MUCH LESS DEFINED AS MULTIPLE WAVES LOOK TO BE INTERACTING WITH THE
MOISTURE.  TROUGH HAS BEGUN TO PUSH MOISTURE TRAIL TO THE SOUTH...WITH
BULK LOOKING TO HEAD TOWARDS NRN CA/SRN OR.  JET IS STILL WELL DEFINED
WITH WINDS WITH POLAR JET CONTINUING TO EDGE CLOSER TO MOISTURE PLUME.
0111Z AMSU PASS SHOWING 1.4" PW MAX AROUND 133W /40N WTH MICROWAVE AREAL
RAIN RATES BETWEEN .05"/HR AND .13"/HR.  GOES-11 SHOWING BATCH OF COLD
TOPS AT ABOUT 133W/42N WHICH LOKS TO BE TAIL END OF THAT BATCH AND COULD
BE MOVING ONSHORE WITHIN THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS.  RAINS SHOULD STILL BE
LIGHT TO MODERATE FOR THE SHORT TERM..EXCEPT IN OROGRAPHICALLY FAVORED
AREAS...HOWEVER RAIN RATES UP TO .4"/HR AREAL AVERAGE ARE ASSOCIATED
WITH SHRTWVE AND 1.7" PW VALUES NEAR 145W/35N.	WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
