Area forecast discussion, Jan 5, 3:00 PM PST, 5 hours 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
300 PM PST MON JAN 5 2009
.SYNOPSIS...RAIN WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT AS WARMER AIR FLOWS INTO
WESTERN WASHINGTON. FREEZING LEVELS WILL RISE SIGNIFICANTLY AND
RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL LAST INTO THURSDAY. THE MOUNTAINS WILL
RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING IS POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF WESTERN
WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THERE COULD BE A DRYING TREND AT
THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES TO FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS THOUGH
IT SHOULD TAPER BY MORNING. SNOQUALMIE PASS HAS CHANGED TO RAIN OR A
RAIN/SNOW MIX BUT COULD EASILY CHANGE BACK TO SNOW OVERNIGHT.
ANOTHER FOOT OR SO OF SNOW IS LIKELY TONIGHT IN THE CASCADES.
NEXT PROBLEM IS HEAVY RAIN. STARTING ABOUT 18Z TUESDAY A WARM FRONT
WILL DRAPE ITSELF OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON AND NOT LEAVE THE AREA
UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING. THE RESULT WILL BE RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES IN
THE MOUNTAINS...ALONG THE COAST...AND OVER THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR
AND LOWER CHEHALIS VALLEY. AMOUNTS ARE DEFINITELY COPIOUS LOOKING.
MOUNTAINS WILL BE MOSTLY 5-10 INCHES WITH SOME SOUTHWEST FACING
SLOPES 15-20 INCHES. PERHAPS 6 INCHES WILL FALL ON THE COAST AND SW
INTERIOR. SEATTLE AREA COULD SEE 4 INCHES OVER THE TWO DAYS AND
NORTHERN LOWLAND AREAS WILL GET AN INCH OR TWO.
THIS SUMS TO A REAL FLOOD POTENTIAL...BOTH FOR RIVER FLOODING AND
URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING. UNLIKE SOME OF THE FALSE ALARMS OF
THE PREVIOUS TWO WEEKS...THIS FLOODING WILL BE DRIVEN BY HEAVY RAIN.
EVEN IF MODEL AMOUNTS TURN OUT TO BE TOO HIGH BY 50 PER CENT OR
SO...THERE WILL PROBABLY BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME FLOODING. THE
MODELED AMOUNTS...AND THE AMOUNTS IN THE NWS GRIDS...ARE ENOUGH TO
CAUSE MAJOR FLOODING ON MANY RIVERS. WILL GO WITH A FLOOD WATCH FOR
PRACTICALLY EVERYWHERE.
SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE TO 7000 FEET IN THE OLYMPICS AND 5500 FEET IN
THE CASCADES...MEANING MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE RAIN. HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWLANDS WILL APPROACH 50 DEGREES EACH OF THE
NEXT THREE DAYS. IT MIGHT FEEL WARM IF NOT FOR ALL THE RAIN. BURKE
.LONG TERM...GFS AND EURO BOTH DRY THINGS OUT ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND
KEEP IT DRY FRIDAY. HAVE SOME CHANCE POPS IN THERE NOW BUT THE GFS
IN PARTICULAR HAS OFFSHORE SURFACE FLOW AND HIGH HEIGHTS...FRIDAY
COULD BE A WARMISH AND DRY DAY...WITH CONDITIONS CONTINUING INTO
SATURDAY. ON SATURDAY NIGHT BOTH THE EURO AND GFS SWING A SHORT WAVE
THROUGH FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BURKE
&&
.AVALANCHE...FURTHER SIGNIFICANT WARMING AND HEAVY SNOW CHANGING TO
RAIN OR HEAVY WET SNOW TUESDAY WILL LOAD THE 2 TO 5 FEET OF SNOW
RECEIVED SINCE NEW YEAR'S...CAUSING THE AVALANCHE DANGER TO BECOME
EXTREME IN MANY AREAS ESPECIALLY ABOVE 4-5000 FEET...HENCE
BACKCOUNTRY TRAVEL SHOULD BE AVOIDED TUESDAY. KRAMER
&&
.AVIATION...ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON AND IS LIMITING
CEILINGS OVER MOST AREAS TO AROUND 1500 TO 2500 FEET AND A FEW
SHOWERS. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIR FLOW IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...SO
WOULD EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE. SOME AREAS OF IFR SHOULD FORM
AS TEMPERATURES COOL AND RAIN BEGINS AGAIN LATER
TONIGHT...CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY AS THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES
INLAND. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY.
KSEA...LOW LEVEL ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES WITH MVFR CEILINGS 1500 TO
2500 THIS EVENING. EXPECT CEILINGS 500 TO 1000 FT WITH VISIBILITY
3-5SM IN RAIN AFTER 10-12Z. LITTLE IMPROVEMENT TUESDAY AS MAIN
PORTION OF SYSTEM CROSSES W WA. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15
KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 18 TO 25 KNOTS THIS EVENING...EASING TO 6 TO 10
KNOTS AFTER 09Z. PRANGE
&&
.MARINE...ONSHORE GRADIENTS EASE OVERNIGHT WITH WINDS DIMINISHING
MOST AREAS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS REMAIN OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AND UNTIL 06Z FOR THE ENTIRE STRAIT. WINDS INCREASING AGAIN
