AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
849 AM PST THU JAN 8 2009

.SYNOPSIS...MOIST AND SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE
TO BRING SHOWERS TO WESTERN WASHINGTON TODAY. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING
WILL BUILD IN TONIGHT. A WARM FRONT WILL BRUSH BY NORTHWEST
WASHINGTON ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN EXPAND FURTHER SOUTH
ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AND LINGER ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGING WILL REBOUND EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH BENIGN WEATHER INTO THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS IS NOW LOCATED OVER WRN WA
AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOVING OUT THE HEAVY RAIN OF LATE. WITH COOL
AIR ALOFT...A SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS NOW IN PLACE WITH
850-500 MB LAPSE RATES NEAR 7 C/KM FOR NOW. CONVECTIVE SHOWER
ACTIVITY IS THE RESULT WITH SHOWERS FAVORING THE WINDWARD SIDE OF
THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES...THE PSCZ OVER SNOHOMISH COUNTY...AND A
TRAILING SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE NW INTERIOR. WITH COOLER AIR
MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST...SNOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE FALLING TO
NEAR 2500 FEET BY SUNSET AND THEN TO ABOUT 1000-1500 FEET THIS
EVENING. THE CURRENT SHOWERY FORECAST AND WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR THE CASCADES TODAY LOOKS GOOD. ADDITIONAL PRECIP TODAY WILL BE
HYDROLOGICALLY INSIGNIFICANT AND SHOULD NOT ADD FURTHER TO FLOODING
WOES. LOWERING SNOW LEVELS ARE CONSIDERED A GOOD THING SINCE PRECIP
THAT FALLS IN A FROZEN STATE DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RUN OFF INTO
RIVERS.

UPPER HEIGHTS AND TEMPERATURES ALOFT REBOUND PRETTY QUICKLY TONIGHT
WITH THE INCREASE IN STABILITY CAUSING SHOWERS TO TAPER OFF AND END
THIS EVENING.

LOW-MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION CRANKS UP ON FRI AND FRI NIGHT AND
COULD POSE PROBLEMS FOR THE CURRENT DRY FORECAST. 12Z GFS KEEP MOST
OF THE WARM ADVECTION PRECIP NEAR AND NORTH OF THE CANADIAN
BORDER...BUT THE 12Z NAM HAS ARRIVED SHOWING PRECIP SPREADING AS FAR
SOUTH AS OLM/TCM AROUND SUNSET ON FRIDAY. WILL NEED TO ADD A MENTION
OF RAIN FOR FRI AFTN AND FRI NIGHT EITHER IN THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE
OR A LATE MORNING FORECAST UPDATE.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A DISSIPATING LOW APPROACHING VANCOUVER ISLAND ON
SAT AFTN WHICH SHOULD ENHANCE WARM ADVECTION RAINS IN WRN WA THROUGH
SAT NIGHT.      HANER

.LONG TERM...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE UPPER RIDGE ALONG 130W
WILL BEGIN TO AMPLIFY ON SUNDAY WITH JUST A LINGERING CHANCE OF
LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER THE AREA. THE LONGER RANGE MODELS ARE IN
BROAD AGREEMENT THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD ALONG THE WEST COAST
OF NORTH AMERICA...KEEPING THE FORECAST AREA DRY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
THE ONLY REAL POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PATTERN WOULD BE FOG...BUT
IT IS TOO DIFFICULT AT THIS TIME TO SAY WHETHER THE POSITION OF THE
RIDGE AND SURFACE GRADIENTS WILL SUPPORT THAT. MCDONNAL

&&

.AVIATION...A COOLER AIR MASS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY
NORTH OF SEATTLE AND IN THE CASCADES. NICE TO SEE THE 0C ISOTHERM ON
THE TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTION COMING DOWN. THE FREEZING LEVEL IS
ARND 4000FEET THIS MORNING AND WILL FALL TO ARND 1500FT TONIGHT. AIR
MASS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MOIST BELOW 850MB TONIGHT AS THE MID AND
UPPER LEVELS CONTINUE TO DRY...AND AIR MASS WILL STABILIZE BY FRIDAY
MORNING FOR AREAS OF STRATUS. ALSO WINDS IN THE LOWER LEVELS WILL
MOSTLY REMAIN SOUTHERLY OVER THE INLAND PORTION OF WRN WA AFTER THE
PSCZ ACTIVITY DIES DOWN THIS EVENING. 19

KSEA...SCATTERED SHOWERS...MNLY NORTH OF SEATTLE IN THE PSCZ AREA.
WITH WESTERLY GALES INCREASING IN THE STRAIT THRU MIDDAY THE WRFGFS
HAS THE PSCZ OVER SEATTLE BY 21Z. LOOKING AT THE 10M 12KM WIND FCST
OFF THE WRFGFS...THE STRIP OF WNW 30KT WIND OVER ADMIRALTY INLET
LOOKS LIKE IT IS BEING MAPPED 20 MILES TOO FAR SOUTH AND OUGHT TO BE
CROSSING WHIDBEY ISLAND NEAR COUPEVILLE INSTEAD...SO THE PSCZ MIGHT
BE SHOWN A LITTLE TOO FAR SOUTH. STILL...VRB06KT WIND FOR KSEA SEEMS
LIKE A GOOD BET THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PSCZ SETS UP NEAR THE CITY.
NOT A LOT OF PRECIP IN THE MODEL...MOSTLY OVER LAKE WA AND EAST. THE
4KM WINDS OUGHT TO RESOLVE THINGS BETTER AND HOPEFULLY THOSE WILL BE
IN BY THE TIME I SEND THE NEW TAF. 19

&&

.MARINE...NO BIG ADJUSTMENTS TO FCSTS IN THE SHORT TERM...NW20-30KT
COASTAL WATERS AND A WESTERLY GALE IN THE STRAIT. THE UIL-BLI
GRADIENT EASED JUST A TAD THIS PAST HOUR...BUT WILL INCREASE BY
MIDDAY TO +4.5MB SO A SOLID GALE EXPECTED. FOR THE NEXT
SYSTEM...WILL PROBABLY NEED AT LEAST SLY 25KT MOST WATERS BY SAT
NITE. THE LATEST NAM BRINGS IN THE NEXT MUCH WEAKER FNTL SYS...A
WARM FRONT HANGS UP OVER NW WA FRI NITE AND SAT AND SE WINDS
INCREASE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY...AND THEN SAT AFTERNOON A 1013MB
LOW REACHES NRN VANCOUVER ISLAND SO THAT LOOKS LIKE HIGH END SMALL
CRAFT SE25-30 COASTAL WATERS AND A GOOD 20-25KT INLAND WATERS. MIGHT
EVEN SQUEAK A GALE OUT OF IT IN THE NORMALLY WINDIER
SPOTS...ENTRANCES TO THE STRAIT FOR EXAMPLE SAT AFTERNOON OR
EVENING. WILL DROP SOME NEW GUIDANCE INTO THE WIND GRIDS FOR THE
AFTERNOON PACKAGE. 19

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...FLOOD WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF WESTERN WASHINGTON.
     WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE CENTRAL AND NORTH CASCADES.
PZ...GALE WARNING CENTRAL STRAIT AND EAST ENTRANCE THROUGH THIS
        EVENING.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL OTHER WATERS.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ROUGH TO SEVERE BAR CONDITIONS
