THE VERY WET PATTERN WILL PERSIST THIS PERIOD THRU MUCH OF THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST..AS A VERY MOIST/HIGH PW AIRMASS REMAINS IN
PLACE..MORE THAN SEVERAL H5 S/WVS AND/OR LOW LEVEL CIRCULATIONS
IMPACT THE REGION..AND SUFFICIENT AFTERNOON HEATING AIDS IN
FURTHER DESTABILIZING THE AIRMASS.  LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS RATHER WELL DEFINED CIRCULATIONS IN EASTERN
NM..EASTERN AZ..SOUTHWESTERN CO..SOUTHCENTRAL CA..SOUTHCENTRAL UT
AND AND NORTHEASTERN NV..ALL OF WHICH ARE LIKELY TO ENHANCE THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL DURING THIS PERIOD.  THE LATEST MODEL QPFS
STILL HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES PERTAINING TO ESPECIALLY WHERE THE
HEAVIEST RAINS WILL OCCUR..SO ENDED UP TAKING A MANUAL BLENDED
APPROACH FOR THE MANUAL QPF.   ONE AREA THAT SEEMS PARTICULARLY
VULNERABLE TO HEAVIER RAINS IS FROM EASTERN NM INTO PORTIONS OF
CO..WHERE INITIALLY UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW AND A VEERING LOW LEVEL
JET ON THE NOSE OF THE HIGHER PWS SUPPORTS THE ACTIVITY. 
HERE..WITHIN THE SLIGHT RISK THREAT AREA..ISOLATED 1-2 INCH RAINS
IN AN HOUR OR SO ARE POSSIBLE..WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLOODING
PORBLEMS.  ADDITIONAL ISOLATED HEAVIER RAINS ARE ALSO LIKELY BACK
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL GREAT BASIN..AIDED BY THE ONE OR MORE OF THE
ABOVE MENTIONED CIRCULATIONS LIFTING GENERALLY NORTHWARD UP THE
BACK SIDE OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS.

BROAD SCALE AND DEEP ASCENT AHEAD OF THE STRONG AND NEARLY CLOSED
H5 SYSTEM NOW SWINGING INTO SOUTHEASTERN NY STATE WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THE SEASONABLY MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE TO PRODUCE
ADDITIONAL ISOLATED HEAVIER RAINS INTO THE EARLY MONDAY EVENING
HOURS FROM SOUTHCENTRAL NY STATE NORTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.  SUFFICIENT DAYTIME HEATING WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE
ACTIVITY..WITH HEAVIER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALREADY OCCURRING
AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM IN SOUTHEASTERN NY STATE.  ISOLATED 1-2 INCH
RAINS IN AN HOUR OR SO POSSIBLE..SUPPORTING A THREAT OF SOME
FLOODING PROBLEMS MOSTLY INTO THE MONDAY EVENING HOURS.
