AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
900 PM PST FRI JAN 6 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT
WITH AREAS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION. A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL BRUSH THE
NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
LATER SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH WIDESPREAD RAIN. AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD OVER THE AREA FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...A WEAKENING FRONT THAT MOVED INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON
LATE THIS AFTERNOON IS OVER THE AREA THIS EVENING. IT IS HAVING
LITTLE IMPACT. A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH OF PRECIPITATION HAS FALLEN
OVER THE NORTH COAST AND OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS. MANY PLACES IN THE
INTERIOR HAVE NOT RECEIVED MEASURABLE RAIN YET...WITH SOME OTHER
SPOTS REPORTING UP TO A TENTH INCH. THE AIR MASS IS RATHER COOL
THOUGH WITH THE SNOW LEVEL AROUND 1500 FT AND TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE WESTERN WASHINGTON LOWLANDS IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S.

THE REMAINS OF THE FRONT WILL CROSS THE CASCADES LATER TONIGHT...AND
AN UPPER RIDGE OFFSHORE WILL MOVE TO AROUND 130W. PRECIPITATION WILL
BECOME MORE SPOTTY AND LIGHT OVERNIGHT...AND WE COULD END UP WITH
AREAS OF DRIZZLE LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.

THE OFFSHORE UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE SLOWLY TOWARD THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY...AND THE WARM FRONT OF A FRONTAL SYSTEM JUST
UPSTREAM OF THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BRUSH THE FORECAST AREA. THIS
FEATURE COULD BRING A LITTLE PRECIPITATION TO MAINLY THE WEST AND
NORTH PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SLOWLY MOVE INLAND SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN EAST
OF THE CASCADES SUNDAY. AGAIN THE SYSTEM JUST WEST OF THE UPPER
RIDGE AXIS COULD BRING A LITTLE PRECIPITATION TO THE COAST...
OLYMPICS...NORTHWEST INTERIOR...AND NORTH CASCADES. PRECIPITATION
THAT DOES FALL WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT.

AS THE RIDGE MOVES FURTHER EAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...THE COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON AND BRING WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL GRADUALLY RISE AS THE UPPER RIDGE
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...AND BY THE TIME THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY IT WILL BE AROUND 6000 FT. THIS SCENARIO
THAT WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS IS ONE THAT HAS
REPEATED ITSELF MANY TIMES DURING THESE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS OF
RELATIVELY UNEVENTFUL WEATHER.   MCDONNAL

.LONG TERM...HERE IS THE LONG TERM SECTION FROM THE AFTERNOON
ISSUANCE OF THE FORECAST DISCUSSION -- AFTER THE PASSAGE OF MONDAYS
COLD FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT BUILDS INTO THE
AREA FOR THE TUESDAY THROUGH POSSIBLY THURSDAY PERIOD. GRADIENTS
APPEAR LIGHT ENOUGH WITH THE RIDGE THAT LOW LEVEL INVERSIONS MAY
RESULT IN STAGNATION AND MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH AREAS OF
NIGHT AND MORNING FOG. BEYOND THURSDAY THE LONG RANGE MODELS BECOME
QUITE CONFUSED. THE 06Z GFS...12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF CAME TO A MILD
AND WET SOLUTION FOR THE PACIFIC NW FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND
WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF AND 18Z GFS HAVE COME AROUND TO A POSSIBLE
INTRUSION OF COLD AIR FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF SMALL
DIFFERENCES IN THE EVENTUAL DEPTH AND PLACEMENT OF A DEVELOPING
CYCLONE SOUTHEAST OF KAMCHATKA AND INHERENT INSTABILITY IN THE
UPCOMING UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ARE GIVING VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY
SOLUTION TODAY AFTER LATER WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY. THE PERIOD FRIDAY
ONWARD REFLECTS A MODEL MEAN WEIGHTED MORE HEAVILY TOWARD THE 12Z
ECMWF. ALBRECHT

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED IN OUR FORECAST AREA DURING
THE NEXT 7 DAYS.   MCDONNAL

&&

.AVIATION...A WEATHER SYSTEM IS MOVING INLAND THIS EVENING BUT THE
FRONT HAS DROPPED OFF PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SOME RAIN
BANDS WERE STILL OVER WRN WA THIS EVENING. THE MAIN AREA OF PCPN WAS
OVER THE METRO AREA AT 8PM STRETCHING OFF SE INTO THE CASCADES. AT
THE SURFACE THE SLP ANALYSIS SHOWS A 1022MB LOW OFF THE COAST...SO
THE FRONT MIGHT STILL BE JUST OFF THE COAST ALTHOUGH THE COASTAL
RADAR DOES NOT SHOW A GREAT DEAL OF PCPN THERE NOW. BOTTOM LINE IS
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE...GRADIENTS WILL BE DECREASING
ALONG THE COAST AS THE LOW PRES FILLS...AND LOW STRATUS WILL LIKELY
PERSIST THRU MOST OF THE DAY SAT AS HIGH PRES SFC AND ALOFT BUILDS
IN AND AIR MASS BECOMES STABLE. MTNS WILL REMAIN OBSCURED THRU SAT
MORNING. 19

KSEA...CURRENT TAF LOOKS GOOD WITH LOW STRATUS SAT MORNING. LIGHT
GRADIENTS WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WIND.

&&

.MARINE...THE SLP ANALYSIS SHOWS A 1022MB LOW OFF THE COAST...SO THE
FRONT MIGHT STILL BE JUST OFF THE COAST ALTHOUGH THE COASTAL RADAR
DOES NOT SHOW A GREAT DEAL OF PCPN THERE NOW. HIGH PRES WILL BUILD
OVER THE REGION SAT...FCSTS SHOW THE WINDS DROPPING OFF AND THAT
LOOKS GOOD. 19

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...NONE.
PZ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT TIL 10 PM PST
     TONIGHT FOR THE COASTAL AND NEARSHORE WATERS.

     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ROUGH BAR UNTIL 6 AM PST SATURDAY
     FOR THE GRAYS HARBOR BAR.
