AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
940 PM PST TUE DEC 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF VIGOROUS FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL BRING RAIN AND
LOCALLY WINDY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA THIS WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRING SOME DRYING NEXT WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...ENERGETIC AND CONSOLIDATED JET STREAM FLOW DOMINATES
THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC RIGHT NOW. SATELLITE IMAGERY NICELY SHOWS A
LINEUP OF SHORTWAVES WITHIN THE ACTIVE JET STREAM. EACH OF THESE
SYSTEMS WILL BE TAKING AIM AT THE PAC NW...BRINGING A SHOT OF RAIN
AND WIND AS EACH ONE REACHES THE AREA. ONE SUCH SYSTEM IS NOW MOVING
INTO WRN WA. A SECOND SYSTEM IS APPROACHING 155W AND WILL AFFECT WRN
WA ON WED NIGHT. A THIRD SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY NEAR 175W AND WILL BE
THE STRONGEST IN THIS SERIES TO REACH WRN WA...LIKELY ARRIVING ON
THU NIGHT OR FRI.

TONIGHT'S SYSTEM WILL BE THE WARMEST TO REACH WRN WA. SNOW LEVELS
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE OVERNIGHT TO 5500 FEET OR HIGHER. AS OF 8
PM...MOUNT BAKER HAD ALREADY RECEIVED 7 INCHES OF SNOW...AND STEVENS
PASS HAD RECEIVED 6 INCHES...PROMPTING THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTH CASCADES ABOVE 3500 FEET. SNOW LEVELS
WILL RISE OVERNIGHT AND CAUSE SNOW TO TRANSITION TO RAIN AT THESE
LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT OR EARLY WED MORNING.

THE WED NIGHT SYSTEM WILL LOOK AND FEEL A LOT LIKE THE ONE THAT IS
ONGOING TONIGHT. AFTER A SHORT BREAK IN THE ACTION AROUND MID-DAY
WED...LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND WIND OVER WRN WA.

THE THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE THE STRONGEST OF THE
THREE. MODELS HAVE BEEN BOUNCING AROUND FROM RUN TO RUN BUT SEEM TO
BE CONVERGING ON A SOLUTION WITH A 990 MB LOW MOVING ONSHORE FRIDAY
MORNING NORTH OF VANCOUVER ISLAND. THIS LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER WINDY
PERIOD FOR MOST AREAS. WITH SNOW LEVELS LOWERING THURSDAY...THE
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY SYSTEM ALSO LOOKS TO BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO
THE MOUNTAINS...MAINLY ABOVE 3000 FEET. SCHNEIDER

.LONG TERM...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW LITTLE CONTINUITY WITH THE
DETAILS FROM SATURDAY AND BEYOND. THERE SEEMS TO BE A GENERAL
SUGGESTION THAT A RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY
FOR DRYING THEN PERHAPS A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
ON TUESDAY. FOR NOW...THE FORECAST IS MOSTLY A BROADBRUSH.
HANER/SCHNEIDER

&&

.HYDROLOGY...A SERIES OF WET WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL PASS THROUGH THE
AREA TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THESE SYSTEMS ARE FAST MOVING AND WILL
PROVIDE SHORT PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINS WITH BREAKS IN BETWEEN. THIS IS
NOT A CLASSIC RIVER FLOODING PATTERN BUT RIVERS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE ONE RIVER WHICH DOES HAVE SOME FLOODING CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS IS THE SKOKOMISH. A FRONT MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT WILL BRING
UP TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN TO THE BASIN WITH SNOW LEVELS RISING ABOVE
6000 FEET. 850 MB WINDS ARE NOT IDEAL FOR FLOODING IN THE BASIN BUT
SHARP RISES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH THE RIVER POSSIBLY REACHING
BANKFUL WEDNESDAY MORNING.

ADDITIONAL FRONTS WILL BRING RAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL LIKELY DRIVE THE SKOKOMISH RIVER
HIGHER...POSSIBLY REACHING FLOOD STAGE THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. SCHNEIDER

&&

.AVIATION...A STRONG WLY FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO USHER
SYSTEMS INTO WRN WA EACH DAY THIS WEEK. EXPECT GENERALLY STABLE AND
MOIST CONDITIONS. STRONG SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL REMAIN
PERSISTENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. RAIN TONIGHT WILL LIKELY PERSIST
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WIDESPREAD CIGS 1-2 K FT WITH VIS TYPICALLY
3-5SM.

KSEA...S WIND 7-11 KT...RISING TO 10-13 KT W/ GUSTS 25 KT AFTER 08Z
TONIGHT. DTM

&&

.MARINE...THE FORECAST APPEARS ON TRACK. SOUTHERLY PRESSURE
GRADIENTS ARE INCREASING THIS EVENING AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES INTO
THE WATERS. GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT EVERYWHERE EXCEPT PUGET
SOUND AND THE CENTRAL STRAIT THROUGH 4 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
GALES MAY END BY WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT MAY STAY UP IN THE SMALL
CRAFT RANGE THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY THEN INCREASE AGAIN TO GALE
STRENGTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

AFTER A LULL THURSDAY...ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY AND GALES
ARE LIKELY AGAIN. LATEST WAVE MODEL HAS NOTCHED THE HIGHEST SWELLS
DOWN AGAIN AND NOW JUST HAS SOME BRIEF SWELL IN THE 15-20 FOOT RANGE
AFTER THE SYSTEM FRIDAY. CHB/DTM

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...WIND ADVISORY ALL ZONES EXCEPT MOUNTAINS TONIGHT.
     WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTH CASCADES ABOVE 3500 FEET
        TONIGHT.
