What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Seattle, WA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 17, 4:18 PM PST, 5 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 4:18 PM PST, 5 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
418 PM PST TUE JAN 17 2012
.SYNOPSIS...A STRONGER WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT MUCH OF WESTERN
WASHINGTON LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY. A WEAKER SYSTEM ON THURSDAY MAY BRING A
LITTLE MORE SNOW BEFORE PRECIPITATION CHANGES FULLY TO RAIN OVER THE
LOWLANDS. AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH
THIS WEEKEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM...A CLASSIC AND IMPRESSIVE OVERRUNNING SNOW EVENT IS ON
THE WAY FOR MUCH OF WRN WA FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WED. MODELS
CONTINUE TO BRING A ROBUST FRONTAL WAVE UP A STRONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY
TO OUR SOUTH...REACHING THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER ON WED. THIS
WILL INDUCE NORTHERLY WINDS OVER WRN WA...DRAWING IN COLD
CONTINENTAL POLAR AIR WHICH HAS ALREADY COME OUT OF THE FRASER RIVER
CANYON. KBLI HAS DROPPED TO 20F...SO MUCH COLDER AIR IS POISED TO
THE NORTH AND WILL BE SPREADING ACROSS WRN WA ON WED.
LOOKING AT QUITE A MOISTURE TAP OVERRIDING THE INCOMING COLD AIR.
HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED IN MOST LOCALES ON WED MORNING. HEAVIEST
LIQUID-EQUIVALENT PRECIP WILL BE OVER THE SW INTERIOR. THIS IS WHERE
THE SNOW FORECAST IS THE TRICKIEST. OVER SW LEWIS COUNTY...LOOKING
AT A LIKELY TRANSITION TO RAIN AROUND MID-DAY WED. A WARM LAYER OF
AIR ALOFT COULD NOSE IN AS FAR NORTH AS A LINE FROM KHQM-KTIW...
WHICH COULD LEAD TO A MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN SOUTH OF THIS LINE. WITH
SFC TEMPS REMAINING AT OR BELOW FREEZING NORTH OF CENTRALIA...COULD
EASILY SEE A FEW HOURS OF FREEZING RAIN OVER THE SOUTH SOUND AND
CENTRAL COAST. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE ONE-TENTH OF AN INCH OF
ICE ACCUMULATION IN THESE AREAS. THE FREEZING RAIN WILL FOLLOW THE
HEAVIEST SNOW.
FURTHER NORTH IN THE SEATTLE METRO AREA...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL
TAPER OFF FROM HEAVIER AMOUNTS NEAR TACOMA TO LESSER AMOUNTS UP NEAR
EVERETT. LOOKING FOR 5 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW...THE LOW-END OF THE
RANGE OCCURRING NEAR EVERETT AND THE UPPER END OF THIS RANGE FURTHER
SOUTH NEAR TACOMA.
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TAPER OFF EVEN MORE FURTHER NORTH. ONLY WENT WITH A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE NORTH INTERIOR...WHERE 1 TO 3 INCHES
IS IN THE FORECAST. WESTERN WHATCOM COUNTY COULD POSSIBLY MISS OUT
ON SNOW ALTOGETHER...THOUGH THE COMBINATION OF TEMPS IN THE 15-20
DEGREE RANGE AND BLUSTERY FRASER OUTFLOW WILL LEAD TO WIND CHILLS
NEAR ZERO DEGREES.
THE CASCADES WILL SEE INCREDIBLE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 FEET
FROM NOW THROUGH WED EVENING. AVALANCHE DANGER WILL BE EXTREME.
WOULD FULLY EXPECT LONG AVALANCHE-RELATED CLOSURES FOR THE HIGHWAYS
ACROSS THE MAJOR MOUNTAIN PASSES ON WED AND WED NIGHT.
ANOTHER FRONTAL WAVE WILL SPREAD PRECIP ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA ON THU. PRECIP COULD START OFF AS A RAIN-SNOW MIX WITH
ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF SNOW OVER THE LOWLANDS FROM KPAE ON SOUTH.
COULD EVEN BE SOME PATCHY FREEZING RAIN ON THU MORNING.
HOWEVER...THE THU WEATHER SYSTEM WILL PALE IN COMPARISON WITH THE
WED WINTER STORM. HANER
.LONG TERM...MODEL CONSISTENCY CONTINUES TO BREAK DOWN BEYOND
THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY. THERE REMAINS ABOUT A 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF
VERY WINDY CONDITIONS FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY AS A STORM SYSTEM
PASSES NEARBY OR OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. ADDITIONAL STRONG FRONTS
OR STORMS MOVE NEARBY OR TO THE WEST THROUGH THE EXTENDED BUT WILL
BE DIFFICULT TO TIME GIVEN MODEL INCONSISTENCIES. THE LONG RANGE
FORECAST IS A BLEND OF RECENT GFS AND ECWMF SOLUTIONS AND IS A BROAD
BRUSH FORECAST THAT SHOWS PERIODS OF RAIN...WINDY CONDITIONS AT
TIMES...AND SNOW LEVELS GENERALLY BETWEEN 2000 AND 5000 FEET.
ALBRECHT
&&
.HYDROLOGY...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...NO WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING
IS EXPECTED IN THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. SMALLER AND MORE FLOOD PRONE
RIVERS MAY SEE SOME FLOODING AFTER THURSDAY. THE TRANSITION OF
PRECIPITATION TYPE FROM SNOW TO RAIN COULD RESULT IN URBAN AND SMALL
STREAM FLOODING THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY BUT WITH A SLOWER WARM UP
PREDICTED THE CHANCES OF THIS SCENARIO OCCURRING ARE REDUCED. FELTON
&&
.AVIATION....MOIST AND SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
CONTINUE OVER WESTERN WA THROUGH 06Z BRINGING SCATTERED -SHSN AND
BRIEF IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS.
A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN PREDOMINANT IFR CIGS AND
VISIBILITY IN SNOW. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD NORTHWARD TO KOLM
AROUND 09Z...TO KSEA AROUND 11Z AND TO KBLI AROUND 15Z. SNOW
INTENSITIES WILL START OFF LIGHT...BUT WILL BECOME MODERATE AT TIMES
WITH IFR CONDITIONS. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF AFTER 00Z.
KSEA...KSEA IS IN THE OLYMPIC RAIN SHADOW THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z. THERE COULD STILL BE SOME SHOWERS PASSING
BRIEFLY OVER THE AIRPORT WITH SHORT-LIVED MVFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW.
SNOW AT KSEA...HEAVIER SNOW FROM A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL
START FALLING AROUND 11Z AND CONTINUE BEYOND 00Z. ANYWHERE BETWEEN
5-12 INCHES OF SNOW COULD ACCUMULATE. LATEST GUIDANCE SHOWS SURFACE
TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE 30-32 DEGREE RANGE. SURFACE WINDS WILL
REMAIN NORTHERLY. CIGS AND VISIBILITY WILL BE IFR. VISIBILITY COULD
GET DOWN TO 1/2SM SN FG AT TIMES. KAM
&&
.MARINE...A 1010 MB SURFACE LOW WILL REMAIN NEAR THE N POINT OF THE
N WA COAST THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING...WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER
BRITISH COLUMBIA AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WEST-NORTHWESTERLIES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...THE
STRAIT...AND THE ADMIRALTY INLET AREA THIS EVENING BEFORE EASING
AHEAD OF A CHANGE IN FLOW. HIGH PRESSURE OVER SRN B.C. IS ALSO
PRODUCING NE OUTFLOW THROUGH THE FRASIER WHICH WILL INCREASE THIS
EVENING AND BECOME GALE FORCE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE OVER B.C. WILL SAG SWD WITH STRONG NE GRADIENTS OVER
WA DEVELOPING TUE NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. GRADIENTS WILL
SUPPORT GALE FORCE WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WEST
ENTRANCE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA...CENTRAL STRAIT...AND NORTHERN
INLAND WATERS. A GALE WARNING. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT STRONG NLY
SMALL CRAFT WINDS COULD DEVELOP IN THE PUGET SOUND/ADMIRALTY INLET
AREA BUT KEPT WINDS TO 20 TO 30 KT FOR NOW...JUST SHORT OF GALES.
ANOTHER FAIRLY VIGOROUS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY BUT THE TRACK REMAINS HIGHLY
UNCERTAIN. DTM
&&
.AVALANCHE...SNOWFALL INCREASED ACROSS THE NW MOUNTAINS TUESDAY
MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON WITH SNOWFALL TOTALS SINCE SATURDAY NOW
RANGING FROM AROUND 18 TO OVER 40 INCHES. LOTS MORE TO COME DURING
THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS...ALONG WITH STRENGTHENING WINDS AND OVERALL
VERY SLOW WARMING TREND...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH. COMBINED WITH
HARD CRUSTS AND POOR BOND TO SOME VERY LOW DENSITY SNOW THAT FELL
LAST WEEKEND INTO EARLY MONDAY...THIS HAS PRODUCED AN INCREASINGLY
SENSITIVE AND UNSTABLE SNOWPACK THAT SHOULD BECOME MORE SO ON
WEDNESDAY WHEN FURTHER VERY HEAVY SNOWFALL AND VERY STRONG WINDS
SPREAD NORTHWARD...ALONG WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LIMITED WARMING...
MAINLY SOUTH. AVALANCHE WARNINGS ARE ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR
DEVELOPING HIGH DANGER...AND WITH WARMING AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY TO
VERY HEAVY SNOW...SOME QUITE DENSE...AVALANCHE ACTIVITY SHOULD
BECOME LARGE AND WIDESPREAD...PROBABLY LEADING TO EXTREME DANGER
WEDNESDAY. DUE TO VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS GETTING WORSE...BACK
COUNTRY TRAVEL NOT RECOMMENDED TUESDAY AND IT SHOULD BE AVOIDED
WEDNESDAY. SEE NWAC.US FOR MORE INFO. MOORE
