220 AM PST MON FEB 27 2006

.SYNOPSIS...OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY AS MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS
THE AREA. ADDITIONAL FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL KEEP THE WEATHER UNSETTLED
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...WHAT A MESSY...BUSTED UP SYSTEM THIS TURNED OUT TO BE.
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE HAD SOME
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. HAVE
NOT EVEN MANAGED TO GET A TENTH OF AN INCH OVER A LARGE PART OF THE
AREA. OH WELL...THATS WHY I LOVE THIS JOB...ONCE IN AWHILE YOU GET
SLAPPED UPSIDE THE HEAD.

IR SAT IMAGERY IS NOT ALL THAT HELPFUL THIS MORNING AS IT IS VERY
MESSY IN THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PICK UP ON ANY STAND OUT
FEATURE/S IN THE MOIST SW FLOW. THE H20 VAPOR IMAGES ARE A BIT
BETTER INDICATING A VORT MAX NEAR 33N 133W DOING THE SIT AND SPIN
ROUTINE AND ANOTHER MOVING NNE NEAR 28N 130W. GENERALLY MOIST SW
FLOW TO CONTINUE OVER THE REGION TODAY WITH OFF AND ON RAIN AS LOBES
OF UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION MVE BY IN THE SW FLOW. TEMPS SEASONABLE.

THE VORT MAX NEAR 28N 130W IS THE SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE BY TO OUR
EAST EARLY TUE. THE GFS SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS FEATURE
THROUGH THE FIRST 6-9 HOURS OF THE FORECAST WHEN LOOKING AT THE
MOISTURE FIELDS AND THE H5 VORT CENTER. MAY BE A TOUCH SLOW WITH THE
H5 FEATURE THO. MODELS CONVERGING ON SFC LOW TRACKING NWRD EAST OF
THE CASCADES WHICH SEEMS LIKELY GIVING THE STARTING POSITION AND THE
SW FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL FOCUS THE PRECIP FURTHER EAST OVERALL. MAY
END UP WITH A MAINLY DRY DAY ALONG THE CENTRAL AND NORTH COAST WITH
ONLY LIGHT PRECIP FURTHER INLAND.

TUE NIGHT AND EARLY WED...WILL HAVE A BREAK IN THE RAIN AS THE TUE
SYSTEM PULLS OUT OF THE AREA AND THE ATMOSPHERE RELOADS THE MEAN
TROF POSITION JUST OFF THE COAST. NEXT FRONT APPROACHING THE COAST
LATE WED IS ORIENTED FAIRLY N-S AND IS SHOWING SIGNS OF SPLITTING
WITH OFFSHORE GRADIENTS IN ADVANCE OF IT. GETTING THE SENSE THAT WED
MAY END UP DRY OVER THE INTERIOR...AND IF THE CURRENT TREND
CONTINUES...WILL END UP WITH A DRY DAY...A BIT OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPS
IN THE 50S. HAVE TRENDED DRIER...DROPPED THE CLOUD COVER A BIT AND
UPPED THE TEMP A DEG OR TWO IN LIGHT OF THESE THOUGHTS. IF TREND
CONTINUES WILL JUMP ON IT HARDER TONIGHT IF THE DAY SHIFT HASNT
ALREADY DONE SO.  CERNIGLIA

.LONG TERM...BIG UPPER LOW THAT IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OFFSHORE THU
AND FRI...BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE IT WILL TAKE A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK.
THIS WILL PROVIDE FOR A DEFORMATION ZONE TO POTENTIALLY SETUP OVER
THE AREA THU AND ALLOW FRI AND SAT TO BE DRIER AS MOST OF THE ENERGY
IS SHUNTED SOUTH OF US. WITH THIS THE CASE HAVE RAISED FREEZING
LEVELS A TOUCH AND WILL LEAVE POPS AS IS FOR NOW.  CERNIGLIA

&&

.AVIATION...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS AND VSBY THIS MORNING AS A FRONTAL
SYSTEM DRAGS THROUGH THE AREA. SOUTHERLY WIND WILL PICK UP AT
SEA-TAC BY DAYBREAK AS A MESOLOW FORMS IN THE LEE OF THE OLYMPICS
AND GRADIENTS STRENGTHEN OVER THE PUGET SOUND AREA....18020G30KT
POSSIBLE KSEA TIL FROPA MIDDAY. MM

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
    GALE WARNING ALL WATERS EXCEPT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY PUGET SOUND
