AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
910 AM PST THU MAR 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS WESTERN
WASHINGTON TODAY AS THE COLD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION MOVES
EAST.  A WARM FRONT MOVING INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL BRING SOME
RAIN AND MILDER TEMPERATURES TO WESTERN WASHINGTON FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY.  AN UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE INLAND SUNDAY...AND ANOTHER
FRONT WILL BRING MORE RAIN MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE UPPER TROUGH HAS SHIFTED WELL TO THE EAST THIS
MORNING WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE AREA.  AT THE LOW
LEVELS ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FROM
ADMIRALTY INLET SOUTHEAST ACROSS SNOHOMISH AND KING COUNTIES INTO
THE CASCADES.  THIS BAND IS NOT ALL THAT STRONG AND IS BASICALLY AN
AREA OF SCATTERED MIXED SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS SHOWERS THAT CONTINUE
TO REGENERATE AND MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST.  ACCUMULATIONS HAVE BEEN
NON-EXISTENT OR JUST A TRACE SINCE 7 AM AND AS THE DAY PROGRESSES
AND SLOWLY WARMS UP...ACCUMULATIONS BECOME LESS LIKELY.  AT THIS
POINT SEE NO REASON TO CONTINUE THE SNOW ADVISORY OVER THE LOWLANDS
AND WILL LET IT EXPIRE.

FOR THE CASCADES...I LET THE ADVISORY EXPIRE THERE AS THE SNOW IS
WINDING DOWN AND I DON'T FORESEE ADVISORY AMOUNTS FROM HERE
FORWARD.  SNOQUALMIE PASS MIGHT PICK UP A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL
INCHES DUE TO PASSING SHOWERS RELATED TO THE CONVERGENCE ZONE BUT
THAT IS ABOUT IT FOR THIS ROUND.

OTHERWISE TODAY...AS THE UPPER RIDGE OFFSHORE GRADUALLY BUILDS
TOWARD THE AREA AND THE AIR MASS SLOWLY STABILIZES LATE IN THE DAY
AFTER PEAK HEATING...THE SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE
LATE AFTERNOON AND DIE OFF BY OR DURING THE EVENING.  WOULD EXPECT A
FEW BREAKS OF SUN HERE AND THERE AS THE CLOUDS BREAK UP ALTHOUGH IT
WILL REMAIN COOL AS THE COLD AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE.

THEN THE UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOWLY EASTWARD PROGRESS
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...BUT REMAIN OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS.  A
WEAK WARM FRONT MOVING OVER THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE INTO BRITISH
COLUMBIA WILL BRUSH WESTERN WASHINGTON.  ITS LEADING EDGE WILL BRING
A CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY...WITH RAIN LIKELY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT...AND THEN IT WILL LIFT NORTHEAST OF THE AREA SATURDAY.

PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS DURING THE 36-HOUR PERIOD FROM EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING THROUGH LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE 0.5
TO 2.0 INCH RANGE AT THE COAST AND IN THE MOUNTAINS...WITH UP TO 1.0
INCH OVER THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS.  THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE AROUND 1500
FT FRIDAY MORNING BUT CLIMB TO AROUND 4500 FT SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES
OVER THE WESTERN WASHINGTON LOWLANDS WILL MODERATE AS WELL...INTO
THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S ON FRIDAY AND THEN AROUND 50 ON SATURDAY.
CERNIGLIA/MCDONNAL

.LONG TERM...FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE
INLAND ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS
SHOULD SHUNT PRECIPITATION ALMOST ENTIRELY NORTH OF WESTERN
WASHINGTON. FOR NOW I KEPT LOW END CHANCE POPS IN THE
FORECAST...EXCEPT FOR THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS ON SUNDAY WHERE SKIES
SHOULD BE PARTLY SUNNY.

WITH THE UPPER RIDGE MOVING WELL EAST OF THE CASCADES...THE FRONTAL
BAND OFFSHORE WILL MOVE INLAND ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON ON MONDAY.
THE COOL UPPER TROUGH BEHIND THE FRONT WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA...AND
THE AIR MASS WILL AGAIN BE COOL ENOUGH FOR SHOWERS TO FALL AS SNOW
OR RAIN OVER THE LOWLANDS. ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOST LIKELY
REACH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.   MCDONNAL

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE AREA THIS
MORNING PRODUCING LOCALIZED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS WESTERN
WASHINGTON. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT INLAND TODAY...WITH A
TRANSITION TO DRIER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. ONSHORE FLOW WILL WEAKEN
TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE AIR MASS IS MOST AND SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE THIS
MORNING...BUT WILL BECOME MORE STABLE AND SOMEWHAT DRIER IN THE
AFTERNOON.

A DYING CONVERGENCE ZONE FROM THE NORTHERN HALF OF KING AND
EXTENDING NORTH INTO SNOHOMISH COUNTY WILL BE THE BEST LOCATION FOR
WET SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING. THE ADDED MOISTURE FOR THE INTERIOR
HAS LEAD TO WIDESPREAD IFR/MVFR WITH SOME LOCALIZED FOG DOWN THE I-5
CORRIDOR IN CHEHALIS. GENERAL CU/TCU FIELD OFFSHORE CONTINUES TO HIT
THE COAST STREAMING IN FROM THE NW. ALL OF THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY
SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE
FLOW IS EXPECTED TODAY. CIGS WILL LIFT TO AROUND 030 FOR THE
INTERIOR...WITH SOME SUN BREAKS. SHOWERS WILL LAST THE LONGEST OVER
THE CASCADES.

KSEA...RA/SN SHOWERS FROM PSCZ LOOK TO STAY NORTH OF THE TERMINAL
THIS MORNING. S TO SW FLOW AT THE SURFACE TO CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY.
CIGS SHOULD LIFT TO AT LEAST 030 BY THIS AFTERNOON. DAMICO

&&

.MARINE...LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING WILL SLIGHTLY INCREASE
THIS EVENING...POTENTIALLY CREATING A WESTERLY PUSH DOWN THE
STRAIT.  11-14 FOOT SWELLS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND WEST ENTRANCE
WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TO AROUND 10 FEET OR LESS LATER TODAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY SOUTHERLY WINDS TO MOST WATERS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT SATURDAY. ANOTHER FRONTAL
SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS AROUND SUNDAY NIGHT.
DAMICO/SCHNEIDER

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...NONE.

PZ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS COASTAL WATERS AND
     WESTERN STRAIT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.
    .SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CENTRAL AND EASTERN STRAIT STRAIT OF JUAN
     DE FUCA BEGINNING THIS EVENING.
    .SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GRAYS HARBOR BAR FOR ROUGH CONDITIONS
     THROUGH THIS EVENING.
