AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
335 AM PST SUN JAN 17 2010

.SYNOPSIS...A DEEP STORM OFF THE OREGON COAST WILL MOVE NORTH
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY BRINGING RAIN AND WINDS TO THE REGION.
FOLLOWING THAT...A SERIES OF STORMS WILL AFFECT THE WEST
COAST...EACH ONE A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THEN THE PREVIOUS ONE.  A
COOLER MORE SHOWERY REGIME IS EXPECTED AFTER THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE DEEP STORM OFFSHORE IS CURRENTLY OFF THE OREGON
COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND RATHER WELL WRAPPED UP.  THIS STORM WILL
DEEPEN A LITTLE FURTHER THIS EVENING AS IT HEADS NORTH.  THEN AS IT
MOVES INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IT SHOULD BEGIN THE FILLING PROCESS
ALTHOUGH IT WILL STILL BE RATHER DEEP WITH A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN IT AND WESTERN WASHINGTONWHEN IT PASSES BY.

WHAT IS EXPECTED WITH THIS STORM...RAIN CONTINUING TO SPREAD NORTH
ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING.  THE WESTPORT PROFILER SHOWED THE SNOW
LEVEL AROUND 5000 FEET SO RAIN WILL BE THE RULE FOR MUCH OF THE
MOUNTAINS AS WELL.  THE BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THE SYSTEM IS THE WIND.
EVEN THROUGH THE CENTRAL PRESSURE OF THE STORM WILL BE LOW...AROUND
970 MB...THE CENTER IS WELL OFFSHORE.  THE MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE THAT THE BENT BACK OCCLUSION WILL WRAP AROUND THE UNDERSIDE
OF THE STORM AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION EARLY MONDAY MORNING WHICH
WILL SERVE TO ENHANCE THE WINDS OVER THE REGION.

AT THIS POINT THE PRIMARY LAND TARGETS ARE THE COAST...WESTERN
STRAIT...THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS AND PARTS OF THE NW INTERIOR.  I HAVE
ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THESE AREAS AS A RESULT.  THIS EVENT
WILL LIKELY VERIFY WITH STRONG GUSTS RATHER THAN STRONG SUSTAINED
WINDS.  THIS IS DUE TO THE THERMAL PROFILE IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE
BEING RATHER UNSTABLE ALLOWING UPPER LEVEL WINDS TO MIX DOWN AT
TIMES.  I ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE EVERETT AND VICINITY ZONE
AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE WARNED AND UNWARNED AREAS.  THERE WILL
LIKELY BE OCCASIONAL STRONG GUSTS...MAINLY NEAR THE WATER.

AFTER THAT SYSTEM VACATES THE AREA...ANOTHER WILL FOLLOW ON IT HEELS
EARLY TUESDAY.  WHILE IT WILL LIKELY BE JUST AS DEEP...THIS ONE WILL
BE FURTHER OFFSHORE AND FURTHER SOUTH WHEN IT BEGINS FILLING AND
THUS WILL HAVE LESS OF AN IMPACT ON OUR REGION.  SO LESS OF A RAIN
THREAT AND LESS WIND OVERALL.  AT THIS TIME I WOULD NOT EXPECT A
NEED FOR WIND RELATED ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS WITH THIS SYSTEM.  IT
WILL ROTATE AN AREA OF RAIN UP ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY WHICH WILL
BE FOLLOWED BY A TROUGH THAT SHOULD ENHANCE THE PRECIPITATION OVER
THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AS WELL.  WEDNESDAY THE AREA SHOULD BE IN
BETWEEN THE DEPARTING TROUGH AND ANOTHER DEEP LOW OVER THE SOUTH
OREGON OR CALIFORNIA COAST.  THIS IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW FOR A
RELATIVELY DRY DAY.   CERNIGLIA

.LONG TERM...FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING INTO FRIDAY THERE CONTINUES TO
BE A STREAM OF STRONG STORMS IMPACTING THE WEST COAST...BUT AS TIME
GOES BY THEY WILL BE MORE OF A CALIFORNIA PROBLEM AS THE STRONG JET
IS SAGGING SOUTH.  THAT LEAVES OUR AREA IN A WEAK FLOW...WEAK
DYNAMICS SITUATION WHICH IS GOOD FOR CLOUDS AND SHOWERS BUT NO
STORMS OF SIGNIFICANCE.

BEYOND THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY END UP WITH A BREAK IN THE ACTION
EARLY IN THE WEEKEND BEFORE WE ARE BACK INTO THE ACTIVE PATTERN LATE
IN THE WEEKEND INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK.  TIMING DIFFERENCES/ERRORS
IN THE MODELS DON/T ALLOW FOR PINNING DOWN WHICH TIME PERIOD WILL BE
DRY HOWEVER.  CERNIGLIA

.HYDROLOGY...THE SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT THE REGION TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY WILL BE A QUICK HIT OF PRECIPITATION WHICH IS NOT EXPECTED TO
POSE A THREAT TO THE RIVERS OVERALL.  THE ONLY RIVER OF CONCERN IS
THE SKOKOMISH AS IT IS STILL RUNNING RATHER HIGH.  LATEST RIVER
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT WILL REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE BUT NOT BY A LOT
SO THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED.

AFTER THAT THE REMAINING SYSTEM THAT ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE
REGION WILL GENERATE RELATIVELY LIGHT AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND THAT
COMBINED WITH SNOW LEVELS EDGING DOWNWARD SOME WILL DIMINISH THE
THREAT OF ANY FLOODING DURING THE UPCOMING WEEK AND WEEKEND.

FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED ON THE GREEN RIVER FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS.

THE RECENT AND EXPECTED RAINFALL THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WILL
MAINTAIN A THREAT OF LOCAL LANDSLIDES.  THE USGS LANDSLIDE INDEX
INDICATES THAT THE GROUND REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY WET.  CERNIGLIA

.AVIATION...MOIST SW FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE AS A STRONG UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW MOVE NE ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS
TONIGHT...AND INLAND OVER B.C. MONDAY MORNING. SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS A WAVE OVER SW OREGON MOVING N TOWARD THE AREA. CIGS HAVE
REMAINED VFR TODAY BKN-OVC030-060...AND CIGS OVER W OREGON UNDER THE
APPROACHING WAVE ARE ABOUT THE SAME. MODEL TIME-HEIGHT GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS CIGS IN GENERAL WILL REMAIN IN THIS RANGE...WITH ONLY A
LITTLE LOWERING LATER TONIGHT AS THE RAIN INCREASES. WILL KEEP CIGS
IN THE MVFR RANGE AT WORST. EXPECT STRONG LOW LEVEL S WINDS TO
DEVELOP TONIGHT S 50-60KT BETWEEN 06Z-15Z. SHOULD SEE SURFACE WINDS
S-SE 15-30G55KT OVER THE NW INTERIOR MONDAY MORNING AS THE LOW
REACHES VANCOUVER ISLAND.

KSEA...EXPECT CIGS TO REMAIN ABOUT THE SAME THROUGH THIS
EVENING...ESSENTIALLY BKN-OVC040-060. RAIN SHOULD INCREASE AFTER
ABOUT 04Z...AND WILL DROP CIGS DOWN TO BKN025-030 IN RESPONSE AFTER
09Z.  EXPECT LOW LEVEL WINDS FL025-050 TO RISE TO S 50-60KT IN THE
06Z-15Z PERIOD. WILL KEEP THE WIND SHEAR GROUP IN THE TAF GOING.
SURFACE WINDS SHOULD RISE TO 15-25 KT AFTER 12Z. KAM

.MARINE...MODELS HAVE SETTLED ON BRINGING A 971 MB TO 973 MB LOW
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS TONIGHT...ROUGHLY 200 NM
OFFSHORE OR ALONG 128W-129W. WILL GO WITH HIGH END GALES FOR THE
COAST TONIGHT AND OVER THE N INLAND WATERS MONDAY MORNING. THE
STRONGEST INLAND WATERS WINDS RISE AS THE LOW MOVES N ACROSS N
VANCOUVER ISLAND AND PRESSURE GRADIENTS TURN SE. NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THE LOWEST 2000-2500 FEET OF THE AIR MASS WILL PROBABLY BE
UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR HIGHER GUSTS TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE...SO
GUSTS AROUND 60 KT ARE POSSIBLE. WINDS OVER PUGET SOUND WILL BE
WEAKER SO ONLY A HIGH END SCA THERE. SWING/MID SHIFTS WILL
MONITOR...JUST IN-CASE THE WINDS COME IN STRONG ENOUGH TO MERIT
UPGRADING TO A STORM WARNING.

STRONG WINDS AROUND THE LOW WILL RAISE A GOOD SHORT PERIOD SWELL
THAT SHOULD PRODUCE HIGH SURF 20-23 FEET ALONG THE COAST. A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY IS UP FOR MONDAY.

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK THE DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OVER
THE NE PACIFIC AND THE VERY STRONG 200 KT WESTERLY JETSTREAM ALONG
38N WILL SEND A PARADE OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS NORTHWARD JUST
OFFSHORE. COULD HAVE THREE AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY. FIRST
COUPLE OF LOWS LOOK PRETTY DEEP BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN TIMING
TRACK AND DEPTH COMPARED TO TONIGHTS LOW.

HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AND LOW PRESSURE OVER THE AREA MONDAY
MORNING FROM THE APPROACHING WILL CONTINUE THE POSSIBILITY OF MINOR
TIDAL OVERFLOW FLOODING OVER LOW-LYING COASTLINES AROUND THE INLAND
WATERS. STRONG WINDS AND WAVE ACTION FROM THE APPROACHING STORM WILL
LIKELY EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY HAS
BEEN ISSUED TO COVER THIS...FROM ABOUT 5 AM UNTIL 11 AM. HIGH TIDES
OCCUR 7-8 AM MONDAY MORNING. EXTRATROPICAL STORM SURGE GUIDANCE
INDICATES THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS AS
WELL. KAM
