AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
940 AM PST WED MAR 9 2011
.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS WILL BRING WET AND UNSETTLED
WEATHER TO THE REGION THIS WEEK. THE FIRST STORM WILL BRING GUSTY
WINDS TO THE AREA TODAY AS WELL AS LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW TO THE

MOVE INLAND MOVING THROUGH THE INTERIOR MIDDAY AND INTO THE CASCADES
IN THE AFTERNOON. STRONGEST WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE
NORTHWEST INTERIOR WILL BE AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONT. SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY BEHIND THE FRONT WRAPPING
AROUND THE LOW WHICH IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF HAIDA GWAII. THE NEXT
SYSTEM FORECASTED TO MOVE INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP BACK OUT NEAR 41N/138W. SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
FEATURE EXPECTED TO DEEPEN DOWN INTO THE LOW TO MID 990 MB RANGE AS

OF THE FRONTS AND THE RELATIVELY LOW FREEZING LEVELS.
HEAVY RAINFALL ON THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS IN THE NEXT 24
HOURS COULD PUSH THE SKOKOMISH RIVER UP TO NEAR FLOOD STAGE. CURRENT
GUIDANCE PUTS THE RIVER JUST A FEW INCHES BELOW FLOOD STAGE THURSDAY
MORNING. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE RIVER TODAY AND ISSUE AN ADVISORY
IF NEEDED LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
