AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
900 AM PST THU NOV 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TODAY FOR MOSTLY SUNNY AND DRY
WEATHER. A SHARP COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA ON
FRIDAY BRINGING WIND AND RAIN. THEN A SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL
MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST BRINGING WET...COOL...AND
LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS. SNOW WILL FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES
EACH DAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SKIES ARE MOSTLY SUNNY THIS MORNING ACROSS WESTERN
WASHINGTON. THERE IS SOME THIN CIRRUS IN PLACES...AND IN THE
NORTHWEST INTERIOR SOME LEFT OVER MID LEVEL CLOUDS HAVE PERSISTED.
HOWEVER THE TREND EVERYWHERE SHOULD BE TOWARD MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
AFTER A COOL NIGHT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S...TODAY WILL
HAVE HIGHS AS MUCH AS TEN DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...55 TO 60 WITH
PERHAPS SOME LOW 60S IN SPOTS.

ALL THIS BALMY WEATHER WILL COME CRASHING TO AN END FRIDAY. A
VIGOROUS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE FROM THE NORTHWEST IN THE
MORNING. RAIN WILL BEGIN OVER NORTHERN AREAS EARLY IN THE MORNING
AND SPREAD SOUTH LATER IN THE MORNING. LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE A BIT
FASTER SO THAT RAIN MIGHT ACTUALLY END OR AT LEAST TURN MORE SHOWERY
IN THE AFTERNOON OVER NORTHERN AREAS.

WIND WILL BE MORE OF A PROBLEM. THE WESTERLY GRADIENT IN THE STRAIT
IS FORECAST TO INCREASE RAPIDLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING A
HIGH END GALE TO THE STRAIT AND ALSO BRING WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE
LAND AREAS ADJACENT TO THE STRAIT. THE WINDIEST AREA WILL PROBABLY
BE THE ZONE KNOWN AS THE ADMIRALTY INLET AREA...WHICH INCLUDES MUCH
OF WHIDBEY ISLAND AND ALSO THE PORT TOWNSEND AREA. WILL ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WATCH THIS AFTERNOON FOR THAT ZONE AND POSSIBLY ALSO FOR THE
EASTERN STRAIT.

THE SNOW LEVEL WILL FALL FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THE DAY ON
FRIDAY...FROM 4000 FEET OR HIGHER IN THE MORNING TO 3000 FEET IN THE
AFTERNOON AND TO LESS THAN 2000 FEET OVERNIGHT. MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY AND THEN DIMINISH
RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT. AT LEAST SOME OF THIS WILL BE SNOW OR A MIX AND
THIS WILL OCCUR AT THE PASS LEVELS...AT LEAST BY AFTERNOON. AMOUNTS
WILL LIKELY BE IN THE ADVISORY CATEGORY...SIX TO ELEVEN INCHES IN
TWELVE HOURS...SO WILL PROBABLY ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THIS
AFTERNOON FOR TOMORROW AS WELL.

ANOTHER SYSTEM ARRIVES SATURDAY AFTERNOON FOR MORE LOWLAND RAIN AND
MOUNTAIN SNOW. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A LONG PERIOD OF COOL AND
MOIST NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...WHICH WILL GIVE BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND GENERALLY WET CONDITIONS...WITH PLENTY OF SNOW IN
THE MOUNTAINS. HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY WILL BE AROUND 50 AND ON
SATURDAY THEY WILL PROBABLY NOT EVEN GET TO 50. BURKE

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...A LONG TERM FORECAST IS UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF STRONG RIDGING OVER THE PACIFIC...WITH DEEP LOW PRES
OVER NORTHERN CANADA. THE PAC NW LIES IN BETWEEN WITH A NWLY JET OF
130-150 KT AIMED AT WESTERN WA. AS A RESULT...THE PATTERN REMAINS
ACTIVE WITH SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CLIPPING WESTERN
WA...GENERATING MORE SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION...WITH SNOW SHOWERS
IN THE MOUNTAINS. LOWLAND TEMPS WILL TREND BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE 40S...AND LOWS MAINLY IN THE 30S. 33

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FLOODING IS UNLIKELY OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. BURKE

&&

.AVIATION...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE TODAY AND TONIGHT...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. AT THE SURFACE WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY THEN WEAKEN
TONIGHT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SHALLOW SURFACE-BASED MOISTURE...THE
AIR MASS WILL BE RATHER DRY THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEN MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE ALL LEVELS LATER TONIGHT.

PATCHY FOG THAT FORMED EARLY THIS MORNING...MAINLY IN THE SOUTH
PUGET SOUND REGION AND SOUTHWEST INTERIOR...IS CURRENTLY
DISSIPATING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE...BUT CLOUDS WILL INCREASE
AND LOWER TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES.

KSEA...SOUTHERLY WIND 3-7 KT...INCREASING TO 6-12 KT LATER TONIGHT.
THE CEILING SHOULD REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 12000 FT THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY...
THEN LOWER TO AROUND 3500 FT WITH RAIN BEGINNING AROUND 16Z.
MCDONNAL

&&

.MARINE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON
TODAY...THEN WEAKEN TONIGHT AS A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE
FORECAST AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 20 KT.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY...
PROBABLY REACHING THE COASTAL WATERS DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
MOVING THROUGH THE PUGET SOUND REGION MID AFTERNOON. A STRONG SURGE
OF WESTERLIES WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT...PRODUCING SOLID GALES IN THE
CENTRAL STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA...EAST ENTRANCE STRAIT...ADMIRALTY
INLET...AND NORTHERN INLAND WATERS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT
STORM FORCE WINDS ARE A POSSIBILITY IN THE STRAIT...BUT FOR NOW WE
WILL LIKELY GO WITH A FORECAST OF 35 TO 45 KT THERE.

THE WINDS WILL PRODUCE WAVES OF 7-10 FEET AFFECTING THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE STRAIT...WHIDBEY ISLAND...AND THE ADMIRALTY INLET
AREA. A MODERATELY HIGH TIDE WILL OCCUR THERE IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON...AND THE COMBINATION OF WIND WAVES AND TIDE COULD PRODUCE
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. A MORE REMOTE POSSIBILITY IS WAVES
ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG NORTHWESTERLIES IN THE SOUTH END OF GEORGIA
STRAIT AFFECTING VULNERABLE SPOTS LIKE SANDY POINT.

AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...
WITH ADDITIONAL FRONTAL SYSTEMS PROBABLY MOVING THROUGH SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THESE SYSTEMS WILL
PROBABLY PRODUCE WINDS IN THE HIGH END SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OR LOW
END GALE RANGE.  MCDONNAL

PZ...GALE WATCH FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT CENTRAL STRAIT
