FWIW, looking at sat. pics toward the Gulf of AK, this storm still looks good for coming in with another nice looking low not far behind. fingers and toes are crossed, more straight boards available if necessary.

Still looks okay to me (fingers crossed) even with a bit of deamplification. we should still get something (?)

LONG TERM...ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. MOST OF THE EXTENDED MODELS...INCLUDING THE GFS ENSEMBLES...CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN RATHER GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SOME DEAMPLIFICATION OF THE FLOW ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC LATE MONDAY AND BEYOND. THIS WILL LEAD TO A STEADY TRAIN OF FAIRLY QUICK MOVING SYSTEMS CROSSING THE REGION DAYS 5 TO 8. THE 12Z GFS SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT WE WILL BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS ON TUESDAY. SO...WORDING FOR TUESDAY WAS CHANGED FROM RAIN TO SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PICTURE MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. 27

I like what you posted. NWS is still showing 80% precip. in the Alpie area over the weekend but they only go 5 days out. Like I said, the PNW - AK Sat. picture looks pretty good with another nice looking low spinning out in the Gulf of AK. When they start talking about a split stream, I get really nervous. We haven't had anything over here in almost 2 weeks. Bring it!
