306 AM EDT TUE OCT 13 2009
VALID 12Z TUE OCT 13 2009 - 00Z THU OCT 15 2009
HEAVY RAIN WILL BEGIN ALONG COASTAL CALIFORNIA EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND SURFACE LOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON MELOR. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING A COPIOUS AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT WILL BE USHERED INTO
CALIFORNIA AND THE NORTHWESTERN U.S. STATES AHEAD OF THE SURFACE
LOW. RESIDENTS OF THE WESTERN U.S. COAST CAN EXPECT MODERATE TO
HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TUESDAY. THE
HEAVY RAIN WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WEDNESDAY. FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL
BE A DEFINITE CONCERN. AREAS AFFECTED BY WILDFIRES ARE ALSO
ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING CONDITIONS.
DREARY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND SOUTHEASTERN U.S. STATES. FLOOD
WATCHES AND WARNINGS PERSIST IN MANY COUNTIES ALONG THIS FRONT
THAT HAVE BEEN INUNDATED WITH RAIN OVER THE PAST WEEK. A DOME OF
HIGH PRESSURE FROM CENTRAL CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST...BRINGING SUNNY BUT COOL
CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE EASTERN QUARTER OF THE COUNTRY.
HOWEVER...IT WILL NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DISLODGE THE STATIONARY
FRONT PLAGUING THE SOUTH.
