the stage will be getting set for an active weather day friday as
strong impulses approach an environment that will be becoming
increasing more unstable with modest deep-layer shear. in
addition to the instability, precipitable water values will be
topping out between 1.25 to 1.50 inches. a narrow atmospheric
river will translate over the area friday afternoon, adding to
the potential for locally heavy rainfall in addition to the
damaging wind threat.
the potential for heavy rain will continue early next week as
a strong impulse reaches the area. wpc indicated rainfall amounts
around 1.00 inch across the entire forecast area monday into
monday night. these rainfall amounts will add to the potential
for renewed river flooding. at the present time, 6 of the area
rivers were in "action" stage and 3 of the area rivers were in
"flood" stage.

a slow moving cold front will cross the region this period. two
rounds of rain are possible at ksbn with the first arriving
around 12-15z and the second arriving roughly 18-21z. thunder
chances are a little better with the second round but still
overall low for both. at kfwa, thunderstorms are much more
likely and focused in the 20-00z window. relatively dry low
levels should maintain vfr conditions outside of any storms,
though.
