AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
920 AM PST TUE MAR 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN AND SOME WET SNOW ARE OVER WESTERN
WASHINGTON AS A WARM FRONT DEVELOPS TODAY. A VIGOROUS FRONTAL SYSTEM
WILL AFFECT THE REGION INTO WEDNESDAY. THE DEEP LOW PRESSURE CENTER
WILL BRING A ROUND OF STRONG WINDS TO THE COAST WEDNESDAY. AN ACTIVE
WEATHER PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...WARM ADVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A STRONG FNTL SYS
TO AFFECT THE REGION. THE DEEP LOW CENTER IS FCST BY THE NAM TO BE
983MB AS IT CROSSES 40N TODAY...AND ARND 967MB BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY
AS IT TRACKS NORTH ALONG 130W. THIS TRACK WILL BRING STRONG WINDS TO
THE COAST AND COASTAL AND OFFSHORE WATERS...WITH BLUSTERY WEATHER TO
THE INTERIOR. THE COAST HAS A HIGH WIND WATCH WHICH WILL GO TO A
WARNING WITH THE AFTERNOON FCST PACKAGE. A WIND ADVISORY MIGHT BE
NEEDED FOR THE INTERIOR...THE NAM ONLY SHOWS PDX-BLI GETTING UP ARND
8MB BUT SUCH A STRONG SYSTEM WILL LIKELY HAVE A GOOD SHOT OF
BLUSTERY WINDS AFTER THE OCCLUSION OR COLD FRONT. IT IS A LOT EASIER
TO FIND THE WARM FRONT TODAY AND THIS EVENING IN THE NAM THAN THE
COLD FRONT WED...THE AREAS OF PRECIP BREAK UP AND BECOME
DISORGANIZED BY DAYBREAK IN THE MODEL. ANYWAY...THE MAIN MESSAGE IS
THAT THE NAM HAS +13MB AST-UIL AND WITH THE WIND TURNING MORE SWLY
BY 18Z BEHIND THE FRONT THAT WILL DRIVE THE WINDS ONSHORE. THE UW
MM5NAM HAS AN AREA OF SUSTAINED 50KT SW WINDS OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS DVLPG BY 18Z WED.

SOME WET SNOW IS FALLING OVER  AREAS OF WRN WA THIS MORNING...
MAINLY SOUTH OF SEATTLE. THE ZONE FORECAST HAS UP TO AN INCH FOR THE
SOUTHWEST INTERIOR SO THAT IS IN THE BALLPARK AND I DO NOT EXPECT TO
HAVE TO UPDATE THE FCST. THE BEST CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW IS ON
THE GRASS IN THAT AREA ON THE SOUTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE OLYMPICS
FROM SHELTON TO MONTESANO THRU THIS EVENING...AND THE NAM HAS DECENT
PRECIP UP THRU ABOUT 7PM...BUT AFTER THAT POINT THE 1000-850MB
THICKNESS WARMS AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH SO THAT WILL BE THE
END OF IT. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE WEBCAMS AND THERE IS A LITTLE
SNOW HERE AND THERE BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT IS STICKING TO THE
ROADS AT ALL. FOR THE METRO AREA AND MUCH OF THE I-5 CORRIDOR NORTH
OF OLYMPIA TONIGHT THERE WILL BE DOWNSLOPE WARMING AND DRYING OFF
THE CASCADES...THE NAM HAS A 1000-850MB THICKNESS OVER SEATTLE
SOARING TO 1330M BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY...AND NOT MUCH PRECIP AFTER
THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH TNGT. WITH THAT SORT OF WARMING BY
DAYBREAK THE SNOW LEVEL AT FIRST GLANCE LOOKS TOO LOW...BUT THE
EASTERLIES WILL KEEP THE SNOW LEVEL LOW FOR THE PASSES AND
CREST...IT WILL PROBABLY TAPER FROM COLD IN THE PASSES TO A 4000FT
SNOW LEVEL ON MT SI BY DAYBREAK...BUT WITH LITTLE PRECIP ALONG THE
WEST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES EARLY WED. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
THRU TNGT LOOKS FINE...THE OLYMPICS WILL DO BETTER THAN THE CASCADES
AND I WILL PUT UP AN ADVISORY FOR THE OLYMPICS AT SOME POINT TODAY.

.LONG TERM...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE ANOTHER FAIRLY VIGOROUS
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY A
SPLIT FLOW PATTERN SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THOSE TWO DAYS LOOKING MORE
AND MORE LIKE A MOSTLY DRY AND PARTLY SUNNY PERIOD. SCHNEIDER

&&

WASHINGTON OVER THE NEXT TEN DAYS. FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED ON AREA
RIVERS...INCLUDING THE GREEN RIVER. SCHNEIDER

.AVIATION...PRECIPITATION OUT AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT OVER WESTERN
OREGON OVER MOST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. CEILINGS FROM WHIDBEY
ISLAND SOUTHWARD GENERALLY IN THE 1500-2500 FOOT RANGE WITH SOME
LOCAL CEILINGS BELOW 1000 FEET OVER THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE WARM FRONT
MOVES SLOWLY NORTH. WARM FRONT REACHING KOLM AROUND 02Z...KSEA 04Z
AND KBLI AROUND 07Z. PRECIPITATION ENDING AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
BUT WITH THE LIGHT FLOW IN THE LOWER LEVELS NOT EXPECTING MUCH
IMPROVEMENT IN THE CEILINGS. PRECIPITATION OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT REACHING THE AREA BY 12Z KEEPING CEILINGS IN THE MVFR
CATEGORY.

KSEA...CEILINGS REMAINING IN THE MVFR CATEGORY INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH EASTERLY WINDS 4 TO 8 KNOTS.

&&

.MARINE...OFFSHORE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TODAY IN RESPONSE TO
A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING LOW MOVING NE TOWARD THE OREGON OFFSHORE
WATERS. A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THIS LOW WILL MOVE N ACROSS THE
AREA TONIGHT WITH THE SURFACE LOW INTENSIFYING TO 965 MB AS IT MOVES
NORTH NEAR 130W. BY 12Z THE LOW IS FORECAST TO BE WEST OF CAPE
FLATTERY WITH THE LOW CONTINUING TO MOVE NORTH REACHING HAIDA GWAII
AROUND 00Z THURSDAY. THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL
SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY WED.

ANTICIPATE GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON WED...WITH
STORM FORCE WINDS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. SEAS WILL ALSO
