AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
900 AM PST SUN MAR 4 2012

.SYNOPSIS....HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL BRING DRIER
WEATHER TO MOST OF THE AREA TODAY. ANOTHER COLD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL BRING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ON MONDAY. THE TRAILING UPPER
TROUGH WILL KEEP A COLD AND SHOWERY PATTERN INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A
STRONGER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MAY BRING A PERIOD OF DRY AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WET WEATHER RETURNS NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS LOW
CLOUDS OVER PUGET SOUND AND SW INTERIOR...WITH SOME WEAKLY
CONVECTIVE CLOUDS ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE N. RADAR AND OBS
CONFIRM SHOWER ACTIVITY ALONG THE COAST AND INLAND N OF ABOUT
EVERETT. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. ACROSS PUGET
SOUND AND THE SW INTERIOR...RADAR SHOWS VERY LITTLE BUT THERE IS
SOME DRIZZLE OR SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN OCCURRING AS CURRENTLY OBSERVED
OUT THE OFFICE WINDOW. IT MAY TAKE A FEW HOURS FOR THE LOWER CLOUDS
TO LIFT AND BREAK UP BUT I WOULD EXPECT SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH SUN BREAKS AND DRY CONDITIONS. WILL HOLD OFF ON
UPDATING THE FORECAST CLOUD COVER AND TEMPS GIVEN THAT IT IS
SOMEWHAT OF A COIN TOSS AS TO HOW MUCH CLEARING WE MIGHT SEE THIS
AFTERNOON. I WAS THINKING THE MOS TEMPS WERE A BIT ON THE COOL SIDE
BUT THE LOW/MID 50S MIGHT WORK OUT JUST FINE TODAY.

THE BIGGER WEATHER STORY IS THE VERY RAPID CHANGE TO COLD AND WET
WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT HEADED FOR WESTERN
WASHINGTON. MODELS HAVE GONE BACK TO WAFFLING ON THE TIMING WITH THE
NAM-12 BRINGING THE FRONT TO THE N COAST JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND
THROUGH PUGET SOUND BY 12Z (4AM). THE NEW 12Z GFS IS STILL STICKING
TO THE LATER ARRIVAL WITH THE FRONT REACHING THE COAST 10-12Z...AND
PUSHING THROUGH PUGET SOUND 16-18Z. REGARDLESS OF A FEW HOURS
ARRIVAL TIME EITHER WAY...ALL MODELS AGREE ON A VERY STRONG COLD
FRONT TO PUSH THROUGH. RAIN WILL REACH THE COAST LATER TONIGHT AND
PUSH INTO ALL OF WRN WA MONDAY FOR A RAINY AND WINDY DAY. MODELS
ALSO AGREE ON A VERY TIGHT BAROCLINIC BAND WITH THE LOW LEVEL COLD
AIR OUT RUNNING SOME OF THE FRONTAL BAND PRECIPITATION. IF THE
NAM-12 IS THE CORRECT SOLUTION...THEN 850MB TEMPS ARE DOWN TO -8C
WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE FRONTAL PRECIPITATION STILL PUSHING
THROUGH. THIS COULD TRANSLATE TO A SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL TRANSITION FROM
RAIN TO SNOW ON THE BACK EDGE. THE 00Z 1-1/3 KM WRF SHOWS SPOTTY
LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION UP TO AN INCH ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUND AND
N INTERIOR PRIOR TO ANY CONVERGENCE ZONE DEVELOPMENT MONDAY AND THAT
IS WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF -4C BUT NEAR ZERO AT 925 MB. IF THE 12Z GFS
IS CORRECT...THE TIMING IS LATER AND SO IS THE ARRIVAL OF COLD AIR.
THIS SOLUTION WOULD LIMIT THE CHANCES LOWLAND SNOW OUTSIDE THE
CONVERGENCE ZONE. HOWEVER...ONCE THE FRONT DOES PUSH THROUGH
VIRTUALLY ALL MODELS SHOW CONVERGENCE BANDS FORMING AND PERSISTING
INTO MONDAY NIGHT OR EVEN INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THIS A BIG CHANGE IN
THE MODELS FROM YESTERDAY WHICH RAPIDLY PUSHED THE TROUGH THROUGH
WITH THE AIR MASS DRYING OUT RATHER QUICKLY MONDAY NIGHT. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE AIR MASS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR SNOW WITHIN ANY CONVERGENCE BAND OR POST FRONTAL SHOWERS
SO LOCALIZED ACCUMULATIONS ON GRASSY AREAS AND UNDER HEAVIER BANDS
COULD GIVE A QUICK 1-3 INCHES OF SNOW...MAINLY SEATTLE NORTHWARD
INTO SKAGIT COUNTY AND EASTWARD INTO THE PUGET SOUND LOWLANDS. WILL
ISSUE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TODAY TO EMPHASIZED THE RAPIDLY
CHANGING CONDITIONS TO RAIN...WIND...AND THEN POSSIBLE SPOTTY SNOW
MONDAY-TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO PLUMMET WITH WIDESPREAD 20S
LIKELY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME ICY ROAD CONDITIONS IN
SPOTS.

REGARDING THE MOUNTAINS...MODEL TRENDS APPEAR STRONGER AND WETTER
WITH THE FRONT. WINDY CONDITIONS ARE ALSO LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG
AND BEHIND THE FRONT MAKING FOR VERY POOR TRAVEL CONDITIONS IN THE
PASSES AND HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR ANY OUTDOOR MOUNTAIN ACTIVITY.
QPF SHOULD EASILY GIVE WARNING AMOUNTS IN THE N CASCADES AND
POSSIBLY IN STEVENS PASS. FURTHER S...IT MAY BE MORE BORDERLINE
ADVISORY/WARNING AMOUNTS BUT WITH THE STRONG WINDS...A WARNING COULD
BE JUSTIFIED. STILL NEED TO LOOK AT SOME MORE MODEL DATA BUT A
WARNING FOR THE MOUNTAINS WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED BEFORE THE
AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE GOES OUT.

THE PATTERN REMAINS SHOWERY INTO TUESDAY MORNING BUT MODELS HOLD ON
TO A BIT MORE MOISTURE ALSO MORE CONVERGENCE THAN YESTERDAY'S MODELS
WERE SHOWING. THERE VERY WELL COULD BE SOME LINGERING RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS OR CONVERGENCE OVER THE LOWLANDS TUESDAY AND SNOW SHOWERS IN
THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 1000 FEET. HOWEVER...THE TROUGH SHOULD PUSH
THROUGH BY AFTERNOON WITH DECREASING SHOWERS.  MERCER

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...THE MODELS ARE COMING
INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT WITH REGARDS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SOME UPPER LEVEL RIDGING FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. THEY HAD
BEEN SHOWING A WEAK SYSTEM BRUSHING THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY IN
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...BUT THAT SYSTEM NOW APPEARS TO BE WASHING OUT
IN THE BUILDING RIDGE. THE ECMWF STILL MAINTAINS HIGHER AMPLITUDE
RIDGING LATE WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY THAN THE GFS BUT THE UNDERLYING
RESULT IS STILL A MORE SPRING-LIKE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...ONE OF WHICH COULD BE QUITE MILD. THE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN BY NEXT WEEKEND...WITH A
RETURN TO COOL AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS. NO CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED
FORECAST WERE MADE OVERNIGHT. 27

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FLOODING IS UNLIKELY OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT AS A FLAT UPPER RIDGE CENTERED NEAR THE CASCADES PUSHES
EAST. A STRONG COLD FRONT SITS FROM NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND
SOUTHWESTWARD. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE TO THE NORTH WASHINGTON COAST
09Z-12Z MON AND WILL SWEEP EAST OF THE CASCADES BY 15Z MON. THE AIR
MASS WILL BE WARM...MOIST AND SOMEWHAT STABLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
WILL BECOME COLD...MOIST AND UNSTABLE BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE SHORT TERM FORECAST THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON IS PROBLEMATIC. A
FIRST LOOK AT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY EARLY THIS MORNING SHOWED A
SHALLOW LOW STRATUS DECK ACROSS THE AREA WITH SPOTTY SHOWERS OVER
OVER THE NORTHER COAST AND NORTH INTERIOR. IT APPEARED THAT WEST TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT INTERACTING WITH THE OLYMPICS WAS STARTING TO
PROVIDE SOME CLEARING FROM SOUTHERN WHIDBEY ISLAND AND EVERETT
SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE KITSAP PENINSULA AND THAT THE CLEARING WAS
EXPANDING. THEN SOME LIFT ACTING ON THE SHALLOW STRATUS FROM NEAR
TACOMA TO AROUND ARLINGTON STARTED TO PRODUCE DRIZZLE...VERY LOW
CIGS AND RATHER LOW VISIBILITIES 1-3SM -DZ BR OVC005.

AT THIS TIME WITH ONLY MODEST CONFIDENCE WILL STICK WITH THE IDEA
THAT INCREASED INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON AND FLOW ALOFT INTERACTING
WITH THE OLYMPICS WILL SCATTER OUT THE LOWER STRATUS IN THE INTERIOR
AND THAT DRIZZLE AND FOG WILL DISSIPATE BY ABOUT 20Z.

CLOUDS WILL RAPIDLY SPREAD INLAND AFTER 00Z THIS AFTERNOON WITH A
PERIOD OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY
MONDAY. EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE.

TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL VERY RAPIDLY COOL EARLY MONDAY MORNING
BEHIND THE FRONT AS COLD AIR STREAMS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE 12Z
NAM12 AND THE NAM AND GFS BASED WRF SOLUTIONS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON ALL INDICATE THAT A CONVERGENCE ZONE WILL FORM BETWEEN
EVERETT AND SEATTLE BEHIND THE FRONT AND THAT A FEW INCHES OF SNOW
COLD FALL WITH IT...MAINLY NORTH OF SEATAC AND AROUND KPAE. WILL
INVESTIGATE MORE CLOSELY BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO THE TERMINALS.

KSEA...EXPECT IFR TO LOW MVFR CIGS TO IMPROVE TO SCT-BKN035 BKN060
AFTER 20Z. CIGS FALLING BACK GO OVC025 WITH -RA AFTER 08Z. SW WIND
12G22KT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. ALBRECHT

&&

.MARINE...S TO SW PRES GRADIENTS ARE INCREASING AS A 1010 MB LOW
MOVES INTO CENTRAL BC. AN ASSOCIATED STRONG COLD FRONT SITS FROM
NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND SW TO A WAVE NEAR 42N 145W. THIS FRONT
WILL REACH THE NORTH COAST ABOUT 4 AM MON AND WILL SWEEP EAST OF THE
INLAND WATERS DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
ARE UP FOR ALL WATERS FOR INCREASING S/SW FLOW AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...FOLLOWED BY STRONG NWLY FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. A GALE WATCH
CONTINUES FOR MON OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN STRAIT OF JUAN DE
FUCA FOR A STRONG NWLY SURGE BEHIND THE FRONT.

ONSHORE FLOW WILL EASE TUESDAY. A WEAK WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY PASS
THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THEN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE AREA ON THURSDAY. ALBRECHT

&&

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

PZ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY ALL WATERS.
     GALE WATCH 10 AM MONDAY TO 10 PM MONDAY FOR THE CENTRAL STRAIT
     AND EAST ENTRANCE.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ROUGH BAR CONDITIONS GRAYS HARBOR.
