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 Apr 28, 8:40 PM PDT, 6 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 8:40 PM PDT, 6 hours 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
840 PM PDT SAT APR 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND AT LEAST SOME SUNSHINE THROUGH SUNDAY. A
PACIFIC FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD RAIN ONSHORE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY. LOWER PRESSURE ALOFT IS FORECAST TO FOLLOW THE
FRONTAL SYSTEM FOR COOLER SHOWERY WEATHER LATE MONDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. A FOLLOWING FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BRING MORE RAIN
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...THEN SHOWERS ON FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...GENERALLY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT INTO WESTERN WA THIS
EVENING. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE THAT
MOVED ASHORE THIS EVENING THAT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF LIGHT PRECIP
ALONG THE COAST...IN THE OLYMPICS AND A BIT IN THE NORTH INTERIOR.
THE KUIL RAOB SHOWED TOPS OF THE MOISTURE LEVEL UNDER 10000 FT. SO
THIS SHORTWAVE IS LITERALLY SQUEEZING THAT LAYER OF MOISTURE TO
PRODUCE THE LIGHT PRECIP. THE SHORTWAVE IS NOW DAMPENING OUT. SO
GENERALLY CLOUDY OVER MUCH OF WESTERN WA OVERNIGHT.

LOOKING UPSTREAM...QUITE THE STREAM OF MOISTURE FROM ABOUT 135W WSW
TO NEAR THE DATELINE. THE BLENDED TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY
FOUND VIA THE LOCAL HYDRO DATA LINK OFF OUR WEB SITE SHOWS A PLUME
OF SUB-TROPICAL MOISTURE EMBEDDED IN THIS FLOW.

00Z NAM IN THUS FAR AGREES THAT THIS STREAM OF MOISTURE SHOULD
ARRIVE SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SOME RIDGING ALOFT AHEAD OF IT OVER US
SUNDAY. THAT SHOULD HELP PROVIDE A BIT MORE SUNSHINE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...THOUGH IT MAY ALSO PROMOTE SOME CONVERGENCE IN THE LEE
OF THE OLYMPICS AND CENTRAL PUGET SOUND AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING.

SO LOOK FOR RAIN TO SPREAD ONSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.
AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED...THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SHOULD BE NEAR THE
COAST AROUND 12Z MONDAY AND THROUGH THE INTERIOR BY 18Z. PRECIP
AMOUNTS LIKELY TO BE HEALTHY FOR LATE APRIL GIVEN THE MOISTURE
SOURCE. THE FOLLOWING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD PROMOTE EXTENDED
APRIL SHOWERS INTO MAY 1ST - TUESDAY WITH SNOW LEVELS FALLING TO
PERHAPS AS LOW AS 3000 FEET BY TUESDAY. BUEHNER

.LONG TERM...FROM THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...GFS/ECMWF HAVE REACHED
BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY PERIOD WHEN ANOTHER
FRONTAL SYSTEM REACHES THE AREA. POPS HAVE BEEN BOOSTED UP TO LIKELY
TO CATEGORICAL RANGE...WHICH MIGHT BE A LITTLE BOLD. THE TRAILING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY KEEPING
SHOWERS AROUND. THE ECMWF IS INDICATING A CHANGE TO A WARMER PATTERN
WITH RIDGING OVER THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND...GFS IS LESS OPTIMISTIC. I
WILL STICK WITH THE PERSISTENCE FORECAST FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR
THE TIME BEING. KAM

&&

.AVIATION...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. LIGHT NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME
MODERATE WESTERLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ONSHORE SURFACE FLOW WILL BRING
INCREASING MOISTURE AT ALL LEVELS TONIGHT WITH CIGS LOWERING TO
WIDESPREAD MVFR LEVELS. SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN IS POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF
CONVERGENCE FROM THE CENTRAL SOUND NORTH THROUGH THE ADMIRALTY INLET
AREA. AIR MASS STABLE.

KSEA...SOUTHWEST WIND 5-8 KT THIS EVENING SHIFTING TO NORTHWEST 4-6
FOR A FEW HOURS AROUND 06Z...THEN BACK TO LIGHT SOUTHERLY OVERNIGHT.
CEILING 3-4K FT THROUGH EVENING...BECOMING MVFR 2-3K FT AFTER 08Z.
SOME IMPROVEMENT WITH PARTIAL CLEARING SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CHB

&&

.MARINE...A WEAK FRONT DISSIPATED THIS AFTERNOON AROUND THE COAST.
FLOW TURNED WESTERLY ON THE COAST AND DOWN THE STRAIT. AT THIS TIME
IT APPEARS WIND WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY STRENGTH
TONIGHT IN THE STRAIT...PROBABLY 10-15 KT.

WESTERLY ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE SUNDAY WITH 15-25 KT LIKELY IN
THE CENTRAL AND EAST STRAIT IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

A FRONT WILL CROSS THE WATERS ON MONDAY INDUCING STRONGER ONSHORE
FLOW MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS COULD BRING SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WINDS TO ALL AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN THE POST FRONTAL ONSHORE
FLOW. WINDS IN THE STRAIT COULD APPROACH GALE FORCE. CHB

&&

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