AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
340 AM PST SUN DEC 14 2008
.SYNOPSIS...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL PUSH
COLD ARCTIC AIR INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF SNOW THIS MORNING.
WINDY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH INTERIOR...WILL ACCOMPANY
THE COLD AIR. BITTERLY COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE NEXT WEEK WITH
ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW ON WEDNESDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LEVEL LOW SPINNING
AROUND OFF THE NORTHERN PORTION OF VANCOUVER ISLAND. BANDS OF SHOWER
ROTATING AROUND THE LOW MOVING THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON THIS
MORNING. THE LOW WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH LATER THIS MORNING INTO
THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE SHOWERS CHANCES DECREASING FROM THE NORTH
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. AIR MASS OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON QUITE
COLD WITH MOST TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING THIS MORNING. THIS MEANS
THE SHOWERS WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW. WILL KEEP THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY GOING FOR ANOTHER INCH OF SNOW.
BELLINGHAM TO WILLIAMS LAKE GRADIENT CLOSE TO MINUS 18 MB THIS
MORNING. THE COLD AIR HAS ALREADY SPILLED INTO BELLINGHAM WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR 20 DEGREES EARLY THIS MORNING. STRONG NORTHEAST
WINDS CONTINUING FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO. WINDS BELOW HIGH WIND
CRITERIA...SUSTAINED 40 MPH OR GUSTS TO 60 MPH...AT 10Z. NOT MUCH
INCREASE IN THE GRADIENT EXPECTED SO WILL CHANGE THE HIGH WIND
WARNING TO A WIND ADVISORY FOR WESTERN WHATCOM COUNTY AND THE SAN
JUANS AND END THE WARNING FOR WESTERN SKAGIT COUNTY. WIND CHILLS
AROUND BELLINGHAM WILL REMAIN NEAR 0 THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. ANOTHER
AREA OF STRONG WINDS WILL BE IN THE EAST PUGET SOUND LOWLANDS TODAY
AND TONIGHT. CROSS CASCADE GRADIENT AROUND MINUS 8 MB WITH COLD AIR
SPILLING THROUGH THE PASSES. WINDS AT SEA-TAC SOUTHEAST GUSTING NEAR
30 MPH. A GOOD INDICATOR THAT STRONG EAST WINDS ARE BLOWING IN THE
CASCADE FOOTHILLS. WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE EAST PUGET
SOUND LOWLAND ZONE. DAYTIME HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW FREEZING IN
MOST PLACES TODAY BUT WITH A LITTLE DOWNSLOPE EFFECT FROM THE
EASTERLY WINDS SEA-TAC COULD CREEP A COUPLE OF DEGREES ABOVE
FREEZING TODAY.
THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH TONIGHT AND BY LATE MONDAY
MORNING IS FORECAST TO BE DOWN NEAR BROOKINGS OREGON LEAVING A COLD
AND DRYING AIR MASS OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
MONDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN STRUGGLE TO GET TO FREEZING. WITH THE
CLEARING SKIES...OVERNIGHT LOWS MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE
IN THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THE COLDER LOCATIONS. STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN ON MONDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH OVER SOUTHERN
BRITISH COLUMBIA BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND DRIFT SOUTHEAST. ANOTHER DRY
DAY IS IN STORE ON TUESDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA AND DRY
NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT. WITH THE COLDER MINIMUM TEMPERATURES TUESDAY
MORNING HIGHS WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING BACK TO
FREEZING ON TUESDAY EVEN WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE.
.LONG TERM...INTERESTING PATTERN SETTING UP FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE
WEEK. EXTENDED MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING A
SHORTWAVE IN THE NORTHERLY FLOW ON WEDNESDAY. THE 00Z RUNS ARE NO
EXCEPTION. EARLIER EURO RUNS WERE A LITTLE FURTHER OFFSHORE WITH THE
SHORTWAVE DEVELOPMENT BUT BOTH THE EURO AND GFS 00Z RUNS HAVE THE
SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON ON WEDNESDAY. THIS HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BRING A FEW INCHES OF SNOW TO WESTERN WASHINGTON
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SOME DIFFERENCES IN HOW FAST THE
SYSTEM WILL KICK OUT OF WESTERN WASHINGTON ON THURSDAY WITH THE GFS
DRYING THINGS OUT FASTER THAN THE EURO. NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE AT
THIS POINT TO TAKE THE POPS OUT OF THURSDAY. MORE COLD AIR
SPILLING OUT OF SOUTH BRITISH COLUMBIA BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE
CONTINUING THE COLD SNAP INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG
OUTFLOW WINDS IS POSSIBLE FOR THE NORTH INTERIOR LATE IN THE WEEK.
FELTON
&&
.AVIATION...WEAK UPPER LOW AND SFC LOW OFF THE NORTH COAST WILL

EAST AND NORTH SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS WHERE EASTERLY AND NE FLOW
WILL CONTINUE UPSLOPE LIGHT SNOW. SKIES WILL PROBABLY SCATTER OUT

ABOVE...SEE CROSS SECTION IN GRAPHICAL AFD. 19
KSEA...EASTERLY CASCADE GAP WINDS WILL CONTINUE THRU MOST OF THE DAY

.MARINE...STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW AS SFC LOW DRIFTS SOUTH THRU THE
