Area forecast discussion, Feb 21, 4:28 PM PST, 2 hours 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
428 PM PST TUE FEB 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...STRONG AND MOIST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE REGION FOR LOCALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION THROUGH TONIGHT. A COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY...
WITH THE STEADY PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF TO SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE
ALOFT WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE ON
THURSDAY FOR DRIER WEATHER. ALAS...ANOTHER BUT COLDER PACIFIC STORM
WILL IMPACT THE AREA ON FRIDAY.
&&

.SHORT TERM...
RAIN...LOCALLY HEAVY /ESPECIALLY IN THE CASCADES/ CONTINUED THIS
AFTERNOON AND WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE CDFNT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA
LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY WED. THE AIR MASS HAS NOT WARMED UP MUCH OVER
THE N CASCADES...THUS THE PRECIP HAS BEEN FALLING AS SNOW ABOVE THE
4K FT LEVEL. MOUNT BAKER HAS ALREADY RECEIVED ABOUT A FOOT OF SNOW.
SINCE SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...WENT ON AHEAD AND
UPGRADED THE ADVISORY TO A WARNING FOR THE N CASCADES. THE SNOW HAD
MOSTLY CHANGED OVER TO RAIN OVER THE CENTRAL CASCADES THIS
AFTERNOON...THUS THE ADVISORY WAS ENDED.

EXPECT THE STEADY PRECIP TO TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT OR
EARLY WED. THE SNOW LEVELS WILL ALSO FALL TO NEAR 2500 FT BY LATE
WED MORNING AND THIS SHOULD START TO TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF
THE AREA RIVERS. STRONG UPSLOPE FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
CASCADES ON WED AND THIS WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW...
ESPECIALLY IN THE CENTRAL CASCADES. THUS A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR SNOW WAS ISSUED FOR THIS AREA.

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION WED NIGHT AND CONTINUE ON
THU FOR IMPROVING CONDITIONS. BY THU MORNING...THE THREAT OF SHOWERS
WILL HAVE BECOME CONFINED TO THE CASCADES.

THIS SYSTEM WILL BE A COLDER ONE...WITH SNOW LEVELS ANTICIPATE TO BE
FAIRLY LOW. THE SW FACING SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS AND N CASCADES HAVE
THE POTENTIAL FOR RECEIVING QUITE A BIT OF SNOW WITH THIS SYSTEM. 05

AVALANCHE DISCUSSION FROM THE NORTHWEST WEATHER AND AVALANCHE
CENTER...
THE CURRENT HEAVY LOADING OF WET HEAVY SNOW OR RAIN THAT BEGAN EARLY
TUESDAY AT RISING FREEZING LEVELS HAS CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE
IN THE AVALANCHE DANGER. THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS LOADING THE 2 TO
4 FEET OF SNOWFALL THAT HAS ACCUMULATED SINCE LATE FRIDAY. CONTINUED
WARMING AND FURTHER HEAVY PRECIPITATION RATES OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY SHOULD CAUSE LARGE TO VERY LARGE AVALANCHES. A WIDESPREAD
AVALANCHE CYCLE BEGAN NEAR NOON TODAY IN THE SNOQUALMIE PASS AREA,
REPORTED BY PROFESSIONAL PATROLLERS...CONFIRMING THESE DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS.

AN AVALANCHE WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EXTREME AVALANCHE DANGER ON
TUESDAY NEAR AND WEST OF THE CREST AND A HIGH DANGER ELSEWHERE. THE
NWAC RECOMMENDS AVOIDING ALL AVALANCHE TERRAIN ON TUESDAY IN THE
OLYMPICS AND NEAR AND WEST OF THE CREST WITH TRAVEL IN AVALANCHE
TERRAIN NOT RECOMMENDED ELSEWHERE.

.HYDROLOGY...
MANY PLACES RECEIVED 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN IN THE 24-HR PERIOD ENDING
AT 2 PM PST TODAY. HOWEVER THE CASCADES RECEIVED QUITE A BIT MORE OR

OF SNOW ABOVE THE 4K FT LEVEL. ANTICIPATE ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL TONIGHT...WITH THE
HEAVIEST AMOUNTS OCCURRING IN THE CASCADES.

A MOIST PLUME OF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE AIMED AT WRN WA
THROUGH MUCH OF TONIGHT. THIS MOISTURE PLUME WAS BEING AIDED BY 180
KNOT PLUS JET. STRONG OROGRAPHIC LIFT WILL HELP TO ENHANCE PRECIP
RATES ON THE W FACING SLOPES OF THE CASCADES ESPECIALLY.

LOOK FOR THE RAIN RATES TO SHUT DOWN OR MARKEDLY DECREASE BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT THAT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY
WEDNESDAY. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL ALSO FALL TO NEAR 2500 FEET BY LATE
WED MORNING. THUS LOOK FOR THE RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS ABOVE THIS LEVEL.

CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH...WITH FLOODING CONTINUING ON SOME RIVERS. IN
FACT...SOME RIVERS WILL NOT CREST UNTIL SOMETIME WED. ANTICIPATE THE
