AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
400 PM PST THU MAR 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...BENT BACK OCCLUSION MOVING INTO SOUTHERN BRITISH
COLUMBIA EARLY THIS EVENING WITH LOCAL STRONG WINDS OVER THE
INTERIOR OF WESTERN WASHINGTON UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. A BRIEF
BREAK IN THE ACTION ON FRIDAY AS THE NEXT SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA STALLS OFFSHORE. THE PARADE OF STORMS MOVING INTO WESTERN
WASHINGTON WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH THE NEXT
SYSTEM ARRIVING AT THAT TIME. MORE FRONTS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
APPROXIMATELY 24 HOURS APART THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SURFACE LOW WITH THE BENT BACK
OCCLUSION NEAR THE SOUTH TIP OF VANCOUVER ISLAND AT 23Z. PRESSURE
GRADIENTS THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF WESTERN WASHINGTON ARE INCREASING
RAPIDLY WITH THE KOLM-KBLI GRADIENT INCREASING OVER 2 MILLIBARS LAST
HOUR TO PLUS 4.7 MB. SANDPOINT PROFILER SHOWS 30-35 KNOT WINDS
WITHIN 700 FEET OF THE SURFACE. THE GRADIENTS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS THE LOW MOVES TOWARD
SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA. WINDS WERE ALREADY GUSTING AS HIGH AS 45
MPH BEFORE THE LOW MOVED INLAND. WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR THE INTERIOR SOUTH OF THE EAST ENTRANCE OF THE STRAIT OF
JUAN DE FUCA UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG
WINDS SOILS IN THE AREA ARE ALREADY FAIRLY SATURATED FROM THE RECENT
RAINS AS EVIDENCED BY THE AMOUNT OF MUDSLIDES THIS MORNING. THIS
INCREASES THE CHANCES FOR DOWNED TREES WITH THE WINDS. WINDS EASING
LATER THIS EVENING AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO FILL AND MOVE INTO
SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS NOT MUCH IN THE
WAY OF SHOWER ACTIVITY OFFSHORE BEHIND THE BENT BACK FEATURE FOR
DECREASING SHOWERS LATER THIS EVENING. NEXT SYSTEM TO REACH WESTERN
WASHINGTON NOW MOVING INSIDE OF 140W AROUND 40N. THIS SYSTEM IS
BEING PUSHED ALONG BY A 130 KNOT JET. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES ON
FRIDAY A VERY WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
THIS COMBINED WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT WILL GIVE MOST OF THE AREA A BRIEF BREAK IN THE WEATHER ON
FRIDAY. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON BRUSHING THE COAST AND THIS IS WHERE
THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE FRIDAY AFTERNOON. TRAILING COLD
FRONT REACHING THE COAST AROUND 12Z SATURDAY WITH THE PRECIPITATION
OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT SPREADING OVER THE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH WESTERN
WASHINGTON SATURDAY MORNING WITH A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE BEHIND THE
FRONT KEEPING SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. YET ANOTHER STRONG WARM FRONT WILL FOLLOW VIRTUALLY THE SAME
PATH AS THE WARM FRONTS OF THE LAST FEW DAYS ON SUNDAY WITH THE
FRONT MOVING INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY. STRONG...SUB 975 MB LOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE WELL OFFSHORE AT 00Z MON. THE LOW WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING MORE WINDY CONDITIONS
TO THE COAST AND NORTHWEST INTERIOR LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. FELTON

.LONG TERM...MORE OF THE SAME IN STORE FOR WESTERN WASHINGTON NEXT
WEEK AS THE FASHIONABLY LATE LA NINA WEATHER CONTINUES. UNTIL MID

.HYDROLOGY...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AS HIGH AS 3 INCHES WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT RISES FOR THE
RIVERS IN THE CHEHALIS RIVER BASIN. MANY OF THE RIVERS IN THE
CHEHALIS BASIN ARE FORECAST TO CREST NEAR FLOOD STAGE AND A WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED. FLOOD WARNINGS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE FOR THE
SKOOKUMCHUCK NEAR BUCODA AND FOR THE SKOKOMISH NEAR POTLATCH. BOTH
OF THESE RIVERS WILL RECEDE BACK BELOW FLOOD STAGE FRIDAY MORNING.

STORMS WILL CONTINUE MOVING INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BUT WITH THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE FRONTS
AND THE 24 HOURS OR SO BREAKS BETWEEN SYSTEMS ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS
NOT LIKELY ON MOST WESTERN WASHINGTON RIVERS IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS
INCLUDING THE GREEN RIVER. THE SKOKOMISH RIVER COULD FLOOD AGAIN
DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS THE PRECIPITATION ADDS UP OVER THE SOUTH
SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS. FELTON
