AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
800 PM PST WED NOV 12 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD FRONT SAGGING SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN
WASHINGTON WILL PUSH THE WARM MOIST AIR MASS AND HEAVY RAIN OVER
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON DOWN INTO OREGON TONIGHT. A BROAD UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION BEGINNING THURSDAY AND EXTENDING
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK PUSHING THE MOST ACTIVE WEATHER UP OVER BRITISH
COLUMBIA. HOWEVER...THESE PASSING FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL OCCASIONALLY
BRUSH WESTERN WASHINGTON WITH A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN...MAINLY OVER
NORTHERN AREAS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR SHOW THE BAND OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA SLIDING S
INTO FAR SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND OREGON. ANOTHER LIGHTER BAND OF
PRECIPITATION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE SOUTHWARD MOVING COLD FRONT
SITTING FROM SNOHOMISH AND SKAGIT COUNTIES WESTWARD THROUGH THE
STRAIT. FORECASTS ARE ON TRACK IN GRADUALLY DRYING THINGS OUT FROM
THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE AND MANY RIVERS
ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON ARE AT FLOOD STAGE. SOME RIVERS ARE AT
MAJOR FLOOD STAGE AND MANY POINTS IN THE SNOQUALMIE AND SNOHOMISH
SYSTEM WILL REMAIN ABOVE MAJOR FLOOD STAGE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY
THU. SO AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS FOR SMALL STREAMS AND TRIBUTARIES
DRAINING INTO THESE RIVERS WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH TONIGHT FOR
SNOHOMISH...KING...PIERCE AND LEWIS COUNTIES. SOILS ARE
SATURATED...SO SOME LANDSLIDES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE AT SUSCEPTIBLE
LOCATIONS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT WAS
ISSUED FOR THIS THREAT EARLIER IN THE EVENT. AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS
FOR MASON COUNTY WILL BE DROPPED THIS EVENING. WE WILL ALSO BE
DROPPING FLOOD WATCHES THIS EVENING FOR THE REMAINING COUNTIES SOUTH
AND EAST OF A LINE FROM SNOHOMISH COUNTY TO GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY.

NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS.  A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS DEVELOPING
OFFSHORE AND A SURFACE HIGH NEAR 45N/145W WILL SHIFT NE INTO BRITISH
COLUMBIA. LIGHT NLY FLOW WILL GIVE WELCOME DRYING. LIGHT NELY
GRADIENTS AS THE HIGH SHIFTS INTO SE B.C. WILL KEEP THINGS QUIET AND
DRY THROUGH FRI. THERE MAY BE SOME FOG FRI MORNING...BUT THE LATEST
NAM12 SHOWS QUITE A BIT OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE LATE THU
NIGHT INTO FRI MORNING...AND THIS MAY INHIBIT RADIATIONAL COOLING.

IT APPEARS THAT A WEAK WAVE WILL PASS BY TO OUR NORTH SAT. SOME
MODELS BRUSH N PORTIONS OF THE AREA WITH A LITTLE LIGHT
PRECIPITATION...BUT THE ECMWF IS MAINLY DRY. CURRENT FORECASTS OF
CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA LOOK
GOOD.

NO FORECAST CHANGES WILL BE MADE TONIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION TO HYDRO
WATCH AND WARNING UPDATES AND CANCELLATIONS AS REQUIRED. ALBRECHT

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...ANOTHER SYSTEM
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL AFFECT THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT -WARM FRONT- AND
MONDAY -COLD FRONT. BOTH LOOK PRETTY WEAK...BUT THE WARM FRONT COULD
EASILY WASH OUT WHILE THE COLD FRONT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BRING A
LITTLE LIGHT RAIN TO MOST AREAS. WILL GO AHEAD AND BUY THE GFS
SOLUTION FOR MID WEEK. THIS IS PROBABLY TOO OPTIMISTIC FOR
NOVEMBER...BUT ANOTHER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA FOR A COUPLE OF
SOMEWHAT MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. KAM

&&

.AVIATION...ONSHORE GRADIENTS ARE INCREASING THIS EVENING. AS A
RESULT...A CONVERGENCE ZONE IS IN PROGRESS OVER PUGET SOUND. MVFR
CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT...WITH AREAS OF IFR IN AND AROUND
HEAVIER SHOWERS WITHIN THE CONVERGENCE ZONE. RIDGING AT THE SURFACE
AND ALOFT WILL BUILD IN FROM THE PACIFIC ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL LEAD
TO A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

KSEA...A PUGET SOUND CONVERGENCE ZONE WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT JUST
NORTH OF THE AIRPORT...AND MAY REACH THE AIRPORT NEAR DAYBREAK.
LOW MVFR CEILINGS WITH PERIODS OF IFR WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. THE
CONVERGENCE ZONE SHOULD LOSE STEAM BY MID OR LATE MORNING
THURSDAY...WITH CEILINGS SCATTERING OUT AND VFR BECOMING PREDOMINANT
AFTER 18Z. LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW NEAR THE SURFACE WILL DEVELOP BY
21Z.

&&

.MARINE...ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SMALL CRAFT
CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT IN THE STRAIT AND NORTHERN INLAND WATERS.
GRADIENTS WILL RELAX LATER THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY FOR TRANQUIL
CONDITIONS AS RIDGING SETTLES OVER THE WATERS. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL
MOVE INTO THE WATERS ON SATURDAY...THEN DISSIPATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY. 27

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...VARIOUS FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT ACROSS THE AREA.
PZ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL WATERS EXCEPT PUGET SOUND/HOOD
      CANAL.
