Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 9:30 AM PDT, 5 hours 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
930 AM PDT MON JUN 4 2012
.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OFFSHORE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY GIVING COOL AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BE OVER THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY BUT THE
AIR MASS WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM...A SERIES OF UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOWS WITH
THEIR ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL AFFECT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
OVER THE UPCOMING WEEK OR SO. THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN OVER THE
PACIFIC IS BEING ENERGIZED BY MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL
ACTIVITY OVER THE WESTERN PACIFIC AND DEEP-COLD UPPER LEVEL CYCLONES
MOVING FROM THE ARCTIC NW OF ALASKA AND BERING SEA INTO THE NORTH
CENTRAL PACIFIC THEN INTO OUR AREA. THE COLDER SYSTEMS FROM THE
NORTHWEST ARE MORE TYPICAL OF MID SPRING THAN OF JUNE FOR OUR AREA.
A 540 DAM 500 MB LOW IS CENTERED NEAR 48N 135W. A WEAK LOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS UPPER SYSTEM HAS MOVED ONSHORE NORTH OF EUREKA
CA AND WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES NE INTO THE IDAHO PANHANDLE
TONIGHT.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER OVER THE
AREA AND RADARS SHOW AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN MOVING NORTH FROM THE LOW
OVER NORTHERN CA THROUGH THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY OF OREGON AND INTO
THE WESTERN WASHINGTON INTERIOR. ONE AREA OF LIGHT RAIN PASSED BY TO
THE NORTH OF THE SEATTLE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING AND IS NOW
WEAKENING AS IT MOVES INTO THE NORTH CASCADES. ANOTHER AREA OF RAIN
FROM SOUTH OF OLYMPIA DOWN TO EUGENE OREGON IS LIFTING NORTH AND
WILL AFFECT AREA MAINLY EAST OF THE OLYMPIC
PENINSULA-SHELTON-WILLAPA HILLS DURING THE DAY TODAY. THE CURRENT
FORECAST CALLS FOR RAIN AT TIMES...QUITE REASONABLE. THE FORECAST
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 60 MAY BE A DEGREE OR TWO HIGH...BUT ANY
BRIEF CLEARING AT ALL THAT OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING WILL
MAKE IT ATTAINABLE. MOST OF THE DAY THOUGH WILL BE IN THE MID 50S
WITH LIGHT PRECIPITATION ROLLING IN FROM THE SOUTH.
ONSHORE FLOW WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP THIS EVENING AS THE STRENGTHENING
LOW MOVES NORTHWARD THROUGH IDAHO INTO THE PANHANDLE. THE
COMBINATION OF SOME COOLING ALOFT WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW AND
THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL TURN PRECIPITATION MORE SHOWERY. THE AIR MASS
ALOFT COOLS ENOUGH OVERNIGHT THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE
CASCADES...ESPECIALLY 4500 FEET AND ABOVE...WILL BE SNOW. BRIEF
SLUSHY ACCUMULATIONS OF 2-4 INCHES APPEAR TO BE THE MOST LIKELY
SCENARIO ON THE HIGHEST PASSES LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING
WITH THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON HIKERS AND CLIMBERS. WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT THIS MORNING THEN WILL CONTEMPLATE THE NEED TO
ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WITH THE AFTERNOON FORECAST.
TUESDAY WILL BE COOL...BREEZY...AND SHOWERY -A VERY UN JUNELIKE DAY
AS TEMPERATURES STAY MAINLY IN THE 50S. CONDITIONS IMPROVE TUESDAY
EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGE PASSES OVER THE
AREA...THOUGH THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO REQUIRE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
THE CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS GOOD. OTHER THAN THE ISSUANCE OF A
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE CASCADES...NO MORNING UPDATE IS
REQUIRED. ALBRECHT
.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...EXTENDED MODELS
IS GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING WITH A FAIRLY WET FOR JUNE SYSTEM
MOVING INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON IN THE THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT TIME
FRAME. COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW BEHIND THE FRONT MOVING DOWN OVER THE
COASTAL AND OFFSHORE WATERS FRIDAY. THE MODELS DO DIFFER ON THE
LOCATION OF THE LOW CENTER WITH THE GFS DROPPING THE LOW DOWN TO THE
CENTRAL OREGON COAST WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS THE LOW OFF THE
WASHINGTON COAST. BOTH SCENARIOS KEEP SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR
WESTERN WASHINGTON. LOW MOVING INLAND SATURDAY WITH BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF SHOWING A DEFORMATION ZONE DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON
ON SATURDAY LINGERING INTO SUNDAY KEEPING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
IN THE FORECAST. FELTON
&&
.AVIATION...RAIN WILL CONTINUE SPREADING NORTH THROUGH WESTERN WA
TODAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS INLAND. THE FLOW ALOFT IS
SOUTHERLY. CIGS ARE MAINLY VFR ACROSS THE AREA. THE SURFACE FLOW
WILL FLIP TO S/SW THIS EVENING AS THIS SYSTEMS MOVES FARTHER INLAND.
CIGS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO MVFR RANGE AS ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES.
SHOWERS WILL BE SCATTERED TONIGHT...MAINLY AFFECTING THE
COAST...MOUNTAINS AND NORTH SOUND WHERE A PSCZ WILL DEVELOP. 33
KSEA...RAIN AT TIMES TODAY BUT CIGS SHOULD REMAIN IN LOW-END VFR
RANGE. LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE WILL FLIP TO S/SW AROUND
03-06Z TONIGHT AS ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES. CIGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR
RANGE OVERNIGHT. 33
&&
.MARINE...LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW WILL FLIP TO ONSHORE TONIGHT AS LOW
