AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
950 PM PST TUE FEB 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD...UPPER LOW WILL DIG SOUTH ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST THROUGH THURSDAY. THE LOW IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
OREGON THURSDAY NIGHT. A RELATIVELY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS. THE
HEAVIEST SNOW WILL OCCUR IN BANDS AND WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT THAT
WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY. STRONG AND GUSTY...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE FAR NORTH INTERIOR LATE WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY. EXPECT A DRYING TREND THURSDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW MOVES SOUTH OF THE STATE.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
NWS KATX RADAR SHOWED A NEARLY STATIONARY BAND OF SHOWERS EXTENDING
FROM THE ERN STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA ACROSS WHIDBEY ISLAND AND THEN E
ROUGHLY ALONG THE SKAGIT/SNOHOMISH COUNTY LINE. THE LATEST NAM...
WHICH DID A BETTER JOB PICKING UP ON THIS FEATURE...INDICATED THAT
UP TO 6 INCHES COULD FALL FROM THIS BAND OVER SKAGIT COUNTY. ALSO...
SHOWERS HAVE INCREASED OVER WHATCOM AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES AS WELL AS
ACROSS THE BORDER INTO CANADA. IN FACT...CLOUD TOPS WERE COOLING
OVER THE SW PORTION OF MAINLAND BRITISH COLUMBIA. THERE ALSO
APPEARED TO BE HINT OF A WEAK CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
COOLING CLOUD TOPS. NOT SURE THE MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON PRECIP
TRENDS ACROSS THE FAR N...THUS WILL UPDATE THE WARNING TO MAKE IT
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR SKAGIT COUNTY NWD.

SINCE THE NAM APPEARED TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE CONVECTIVE
BANDS OVER THE CWA THIS EVENING...HAVE MORE OR LESS LEANED TOWARD
THIS MODEL IN REGARDS TO WHERE THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL OCCUR. BOTH
THE NAM AND GFS INDICATED THAT THERE WILL BE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE
PRECIP ACROSS THE N WED MORNING...WITH THE SNOW SHOWER THREAT
INCREASING WED MORNING OVER THE SRN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. THERE IS
A POSSIBILITY THAT THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE PRECIP OVER THE
CENTRAL AND S SOUND BY LATE WED MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON AS THE
MAIN PRECIP BAND SHIFTS N OR BECOMES COLOCATED WITH THE ARCTIC
BOUNDARY.

BOTH THE NUMERICAL AND MANUAL PROGS WERE SLOWER IN PUSHING THE
ARCTIC BOUNDARY SWD. IT LOOKED LIKE THE ARCTIC FRONT MAY HANG UP
ACROSS THE N CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA DURING THE DAY WED BEFORE
SWEEPING ACROSS THE PUGET SOUND REGION WED NIGHT AND THE REST OF THE
CWA THU MORNING. IF THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY HANGS UP OVER A PARTICULAR
AREA... SNOWFALL AMOUNTS COULD END UP BEING EXCESSIVE...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE IMPACTED LOWLANDS WHERE UP TO A FOOT WOULD NOT BE OUTSIDE
THE REALM
OF POSSIBILITY. ADDITIONALLY...IF THE ARCTIC FRONT CATCHES UP TO A
PRE-EXISTING STALLED CONVECTIVE BAND...THERE WILL LIKELY BE TSTMS
THAT WOULD ONLY SERVE TO INCREASE SNOWFALL RATES. THE OTHER AREA TO
WATCH IS THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA AND THE N SLOPES OF THE
OLYMPICS...WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW AT
TIMES ON WED...POSSIBLY EXTENDING INTO WED EVENING.

IT APPEARED THAT BY THU AFTERNOON...THE THREAT OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL
BECOME MAINLY CONFINED TO THE FAR SRN PORTION OF THE CWA. DRY AIR
ADVECTION WILL ALSO BE OCCURRING...SO PRECIP AMOUNTS BY THIS TIME
SHOULD BE MAINLY LIGHT.

ANTICIPATE STRONG...NLY WINDS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE FAR N INTERIOR
LATE IN THE DAY WED OR WED NIGHT...CONTINUING INTO THU. WIND GUSTS
WILL PROBABLY APPROACH OR REACH LOW END HIGH WIND CRITERIA WED NIGHT
OVER WRN WHATCOM AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES. THE GFS WAS PREDICTING THAT
THE WILLIAMS LAKE TO KBLI GRADIENT TO REACH -21.0 MB BY LATE WED
NIGHT. THE NAM PREDICTED -18.4 MB.

CLEARING WILL OCCUR THU NIGHT...RESULTING IN COLD TEMPS ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN THE WIND SHELTERED AREAS. ANTICIPATE DRY
WEATHER OVER THE AREA ON FRI UNDER STRONG...NLY FLOW ALOFT. THE SFC
GRADIENT WILL ALSO RELAX ON FRI...THUS MIN TEMPS FRI NIGHT MIGHT
ACTUALLY END UP BEING SIMILAR OR COLDER THAN THU NIGHT.

.LONG TERM FROM THE PREV DISCUSSION...
AFTER A COLD DAY SATURDAY WITH INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS...MOISTURE AND
ONSHORE FLOW MOVE IN SATURDAY NIGHT FOR MODERATION. PRECIPITATION
COULD BEGIN SAT NIGHT PER NEWEST LONG TERM GUIDANCE AND IT MAY START

THAT RIVERS WILL RISE BEGINNING EARLY NEXT WEEK.
