VIGOROUS DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL MOVE INLAND ACROSS
VANCOUVER ISLAND ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A STRONG WARM
FRONT WILL SPREAD ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WITH STRONG LOW PRESSURE PERSISTING TO OUR NORTH ON MONDAY.
A COLD FRONT WILL SLIP SOUTHWARD THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON ON
TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY NICELY SHOWS A WOUND-UP UPPER LOW
NEAR 48N 145W. STRONG AND MOIST JET STREAM WINDS ARE UNDERCUTTING
THE LOW AND WILL FUEL A STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW THAT WILL PASS
NORTHEAST TO VANCOUVER ISLAND ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS A ROUGHLY 995
MB LOW. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE INCREASING IN ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE
WITH 850 MB WINDS OF 60-70 KTS ALONG THE COAST AROUND MID-DAY
SATURDAY. GFS-BASED MARINE MOS GUIDANCE SHOWING 42 KTS SUSTAINED AT
DESTRUCTION ISLAND...WHILE THE ETA-BASED GUIDANCE SHOWS SUSTAINED 45
KT WINDS ON SAT AFTN. WILL HOIST A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE COAST
WITH A FORTHCOMING EVENING UPDATE. SUSPECT THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT WILL
HOIST WIND ADVISORIES FOR MANY INTERIOR LOCATIONS.

LOOKS LIKE A BRIEF PERIOD OF TAMER WEATHER ON SUNDAY MORNING.
AFTERWARDS...STILL LOOKING AT A MAJOR RAIN AND WIND EVENT FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS WILL START WITH A STRONG WARM FRONT QUICKLY
SPREADING ACROSS WRN WA ON SUN EVNG. STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL
START THE RAIN EVENT. WARM FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A RICH JUICY
MOISTURE PLUME. AFTERNOON AMSU IMAGERY SHOWED 2+ PW AIR ALREADY
SPREADING IN ALONG THE SUBTROPICAL JET SOUTH OF SUNDAYS PARENT LOW
OUT NEAR 170W. SOUTHWESTERLY 850 MB WIND WILL INCREASE ON SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY INTO THE 60-75 KT RANGE...STRONG BY EVEN NORTHWEST
STANDARDS. THE LATEST 00Z GFS IS SHOWING 24-HOUR QPF ON THE OLYMPICS
OF 7-9 FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 4 PM MONDAY AND 5-7 OVER THE
CASCADES. THIS WILL COME ONLY ABOUT 24 HOURS AFTER TOMORROWS
MODERATE RAINFALL EVENT...SO THINGS SHOULD BE PRIMED FOR FLOODING.
SUSPECT THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT WILL BE HOISTING THE FIRST FLOOD WATCHES
FOR THIS UPCOMING FLOOD EVENT. THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS WILL THEN START
TO SHIFT SOUTH ON MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE LATEST GFS POINTING TO
24-HOUR TOTALS OF 6-8 INCHES OVER THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR ENDING 4 AM
TUE...SO THIS COULD SPELL TROUBLE FOR THE COWLITZ AND CHEHALIS
BASINS...JUST TO NAME A COUPLE. PLEASE GET THE MESSAGE FOLKS...THIS
HAS FLOOD POTENTIAL WRITTEN ALL OVER IT FOR NEARLY ANY RIVER BASIN
IN WESTERN WASHINGTON. LOOKS LIKE THE REAL THING.     HANER

.LONG TERM...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE FRONT MOVES INLAND
MONDAY NIGHT. THE REGION WILL BE IN A COOL MOIST SHOWERY AIR MASS
MIDWEEK. THE NEXT STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM IS ON TAP FOR NEXT FRIDAY.
IT IS PROBABLY A LITTLE EARLY TO PROMISE A DRY DAY THURSDAY AND A
GALE FRIDAY...BUT THAT IS WHAT THE MODELS SHOW NOW. THE PARENT LOW
HEADING TOWARD THE AK PANHANDLE LATE NEXT WEEK IS AROUND 955MB AND
THE JET ALONG 42N OUT AROUND 150W PEAKS AROUND 180KTS THU NIGHT. A
GOOD PATTERN FOR HIGH SEAS IN THE NE PACIFIC. MM
