AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
400 PM PDT FRI NOV 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFFSHORE WILL MOVE
INLAND ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON SATURDAY MORNING...BRINGING RAIN
AND WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS AREA TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY EVENING.
POST-FRONTAL SHOWERY WEATHER WILL FOLLOW SATURDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY. ADDITIONAL WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE FLAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER W WA THIS AFTERNOON
WILL DEPART TONIGHT AS A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFFSHORE
APPROACHES THE COAST.

THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM REMAINS THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM. MODELS HAVE
CONVERGED A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARD A COMMON SOLUTION...BUT
SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ON THE TIMING AS
ALL MODELS BRING THE SURFACE LOW ONSHORE CLOSE TO 12Z SATURDAY
MORNING. IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE LOW WILL MAKE LANDFALL SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN LA PUSH (12Z ECMWF...12Z CANADIAN) AND TOFINO (18Z GFS...18Z
NAM). EVEN MORE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING THE STRENGTH OF THE
WINDS IN EACH AREA OF W WA...SINCE THE VARIOUS MODELS DO NOT ALL
AGREE WHERE THE TIGHTEST PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL END UP. AT THIS
POINT THE MOST LIKELY SOLUTION HAS HIGH WIND WARNING LEVEL WEST
WINDS DEVELOPING BEHIND THE LOW AND IMPACTING THE COAST AND THE
AREAS OVER THE N INTERIOR EXPOSED TO WEST WINDS. HOWEVER THERE IS
STILL A SMALLER CHANCE THAT STRONG S-SE WINDS MAY DEVELOP OVER PARTS
OF THE N INTERIOR AHEAD OF THE LOW. THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN
UPGRADED TO A WARNING FOR THE COAST AND N INTERIOR.

A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE REST OF THE W WA LOWLANDS
INCLUDING THE SW INTERIOR AND GREATER PUGET SOUND REGION. S-SW WINDS
WILL DEVELOP IN THESE AREAS BEHIND THE LOW. THERE ARE STILL THINGS
THAT COULD GO WRONG...THE DUELING WESTERLIES THROUGH THE STRAIT AND
S-SW WINDS THROUGH PUGET SOUND COULD END UP CONVERGING OVER THE
EASTERN STRAIT/ADMIRALTY INLET AREA...THUS REDUCING WIND SPEEDS. THE
S-SW WINDS OVER THE SW INTERIOR/PUGET SOUND REGION COULD END UP
STRONGER PER THE ECMWF SOLUTION. ONCE THE LOW GETS CLOSER TO THE
REGION LATER THIS EVENING...PRESSURE FALLS ALONG THE COAST IN
ADVANCE OF THE LOW WILL GIVE US SOME CLUES AS TO WHERE THE LOW IS
HEADED.

ALL MODELS START WEAKENING THE WINDS LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
SATURDAY EVENING.

THE EASIER PART OF THE FORECAST IS RAIN WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT THEN
BECOME MORE SHOWERY BEHIND THE LOW AND THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE
AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

COLDER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL LOWER SNOW LEVELS OVER THE
CASCADES BELOW PASS LEVELS BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER PASSES SATURDAY AFTERNOON THEN LOWER DOWN TO
SNOQUALMIE PASS BY SATURDAY EVENING. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL
DIMINISH BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SO EVEN WITH POST-FRONTAL NW FLOW
ALOFT HITTING THE CASCADES...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL PROBABLY STAY
IN THE ADVISORY RANGE. THE VOLCANOES WILL PROBABLY END UP ON THE
HIGH END...WITH CLOSE TO A FOOT OF NEW SNOW...BUT THE MAIN CASCADE
PASSES SHOULD END UP WITH 5 TO 8 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT MAY BE ISSUED
ON A LATER SHIFT. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT A WINTER STORM WARNING MAY
BE ISSUED FOR THE VOLCANOES IF OVER A FOOT OF NEW SNOW LOOKS MORE
LIKELY.

THE WEATHER WILL CALM DOWN AND DRY OUT SLOWLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS
DRY NW FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA FROM AN UPSTREAM UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE. KAM

.LONG TERM...THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK. AFTER A MOSTLY DRY MONDAY...NW FLOW ALOFT WILL DRIVE A WEAK
OCCLUDED FRONT ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY. RAIN IS LIKELY BUT
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
AFFECT THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. GOOD WARM ADVECTION
DEVELOPS WAY OUT AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY...THEN ANOTHER
STRONG SURFACE LOW AND COLD FRONT IS AIMED AT THE WA COAST THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. ALREADY LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY HERE WITH THE
ECMWF/GFS DIFFERING AGAIN ON STRENGTH AND TIMING. KAM

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE STORM ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPING LOW CENTER
EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE AREA SATURDAY WILL BRING AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN WITH IT MAINLY AHEAD OF AND WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE
RIVERS MOST AT RISK OF EXCEEDING FLOOD FLOW ARE THE TOLT AND
PUYALLUP RIVER NEAR ORTING. WHILE THE CHANCES OF EXCEEDING FLOOD
FLOW ARE LOW...IT IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A FLOOD POTENTIAL
OUTLOOK.

TWO TO THREE AND A HALF INCHES OF PRECIPITATION ARE FORECAST FOR
SOME AREAS IN THE CASCADES...MOST OF WHICH WILL OCCUR OVER A SHORT
12 HOUR PERIOD WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE SURFACE RUNOFF. THE SNOW LEVEL
WILL COME DOWN QUICKLY TO AS LOW AS 2500 FEET BY SATURDAY NIGHT
AFTER THE FRONT AND DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE HEAVY RAIN. THAT
WOULD SHUT OFF MUCH OF THE RUNOFF FROM THAT POINT ON...AT LEAST FOR
THE PUYALLUP. THE TOLT RIVER BASIN DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH HIGH
ELEVATION TERRAIN AND WILL BE LESS AFFECTED BY THE LOWERING SNOW
LEVEL. THE TRACK OF THE LOW WILL ALSO FACTOR INTO THE AMOUNT AND
INTENSITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WHICH COULD LOWER OR RAISE THE
PRECIPITATION WE HAVE FORECAST. BOWER

&&

.AVIATION...A STRONG PACIFIC FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL APPROACH WESTERN WA
TONIGHT...THEN SHIFT INLAND SATURDAY MORNING. EXPECT MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS WITH RAIN AT TIMES...BEGINNING AT 06Z. FROPA TIMING IS
AROUND 12Z FOR THE COAST WITH STEADY RAIN TURNING OVER TO SHOWERS.
MODELS ARE SHOWING STRONG WESTERLY WINDS DEVELOPING BEHIND THE FRONT
AND W/SW WINDS OF 25-35 GUST 45 KT WILL BE COMMON ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. HIGHER WIND WILL BE FOUND ALONG THE COAST...STRAIT AND NW
INTERIOR. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY EASE SAT EVENING AS THIS SYSTEM
EXITS.

KSEA...CEILINGS WILL LOWER THIS EVENING WITH RAIN DEVELOPING BY 06Z.
SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE SAT MORNING AS A STRONG FRONT CROSSES
THE INTERIOR. EXPECT S/SW WINDS OF 25-35 KT WITH GUSTS TO 45 KT
POSSIBLE. 33

&&

.MARINE...A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL APPROACH WESTERN WA TONIGHT.
THE SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN TO AROUND 995 MB AS IT CROSSES SOUTHERN
VANCOUVER ISLAND SATURDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE SHOWING STRONG SURFACE
WINDS ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN WASHINGTON AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES INLAND -
GALES ARE FORECAST ACROSS ALL COASTAL WATER ZONES. WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY EASE SAT EVENING AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES FARTHER EAST AND
INLAND. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PREVAIL ON SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL CROSS THE WATERS MON NIGHT OR TUE.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTH AND CENTRAL COAST.
COMBINED SEAS OF 20-24 FT WILL AFFECT THE COAST STARTING MID SAT
MORNING. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE SAT NIGHT.

LOW PRES CROSSING WESTERN WA ON SAT DOES NOT COINCIDE WITH HIGH
TIDE. HOWEVER...HIGH WIND WAVES FROM STRONG WINDS WILL CONTRIBUTE
TO HIGHER TIDAL ANOMALIES. AT THIS TIME...COASTAL FLOODING DOES NOT
LOOK LIKELY BUT BEARS WATCHING. 33

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...HIGH WIND WARNING COAST...N INTERIOR...EASTERN STRAIT OF JUAN
      DE FUCA...SATURDAY.
     WIND ADVISORY REMAINING ZONES FOR SATURDAY.
     HIGH SURF ADVISORY NORTH AND CENTRAL COAST.

PZ...GALE WARNING ALL ZONES.
     SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ROUGH GRAYS HARBOR BAR.
