A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS AND FRONTS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT
THE WEST COAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. 
ABUNDANT MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE SYSTEMS IS FORECAST TO
BRING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN INTO THE WESTERN U.S. ESPECIALLY THE
WIND-FACING SLOPES OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN RANGES SUCH AS THE
CASCADES AND THE SIERRA NEVADA.  AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES OF
RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS IN THE COASTAL REGION
THROUGH NEXT MONDAY WITH OVER 10 INCHES POSSIBLE ALONG THE WESTERN
SLOPES OF THE SIERRA NEVADA!  THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING AND DANGEROUS MUDSLIDES.  IN
ADDITION...HIGH WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE REGION FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 700 AM PST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
