SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER LVL VORT CONTINUES TO PUSH EWD
TWDS GULF OF AK..NOW CENTERED NEAR 53N/156W. ASSCD S/WV HAS ONLY MANAGED
TO PULL SOME WEAK MOISTURE NWD TWDS THE LOW SO FAR INVOF 50N/140W AND
EVEN THIS ONLY HAS PW VALUES OF 0.5". BEST MOISTURE REMAINS WITHIN THE
ANTICYCLONICALLY CURVED EWD END OF THE PLUME WHICH HAS FOR THE MOST PART
SEPARATED ITSELF FROM THE SW/NE ORIENTED SECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE
E PAC RIDGE. 180KT GOES DERIVED UPPER LVL JET EXISTS ACROSS THE NERN PAC
ROUNDING THE TOP OF THE RIDGE AND IS KEEPING THE UPPER LOW FROM PULLING
MOISTURE NWD. AT THE APEX OF THE RIDGE AND ON ITS ERN SIDE..PW VALUES
OF 1.1.25" ARE STILL PRESENT PER RECENT AMSU PASSES.  THIS REMAINING
MOISTURE SHOULD ROTATE INTO THE SW/W CENTRAL OR/N CA REGION OVER THE
NEXT 12-18 HRS WITH MOISTURE FROM THE S/WV ITSELF NOT LIKELY TO REACH
THE COAST UNTIL LATER TOMORROW ALLOWING THE N PAC COAST TO RECIEVE SOME
ADDITIONAL PRECIP. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABOUT 10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC ANALYSIS.
