AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
930 PM PST FRI FEB 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...TWO VIGOROUS FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL SWEEP THROUGH WESTERN
WASHINGTON THIS WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS WITH BLUSTERY WEATHER AT TIMES IN THE LOWLANDS THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...MOIST AND SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE WESTERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG STORM SYSTEM. RADAR INDICATES A
FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND WRN WA BUT THE CENTRAL/N PUGET SOUND
REGION WILL REMAIN SHADOWED WITH JUST A FEW SPILL OVER SHOWERS
POSSIBLE. THERE WERE A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES ACROSS N
SNOHOMISH/SKAGIT COUNTIES JUST PRIOR TO SUNSET BUT NOTHING SINCE SO
NO UPDATES NEEDED.

WV SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS TWO DISTINCT STREAMS OF MOISTURE AHEAD OF
A N/S ORIENTED UPPER TROUGH STRETCHING FROM THE GULF OF AK SWD TO
30N. ONE MOISTURE PLUME HAS SUBTROPICAL ORIGINS AND THE OTHER IS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN FRONT. BOTH WILL INTERACT AS A 150+ KT JET
DIRECTS THE SYSTEM TOWARD WA. SOME MODELS INDICATE A CLOSED SURFACE
LOW WILL FORM ALONG THE TRIPLE POINT BUT THERE IS SOME SPREAD AMONG
THE MODELS REGARDING THE EXACT TRACK. THE 00Z NAM-12 APPEARS A BIT
FURTHER N AND IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NEW GFS. THE 12Z ECMWF
IS THE STRONGEST OF THE MODELS TAKING A 980 MB LOW INTO S VANCOUVER
ISLAND...A WINDY PATTERN FOR WRN WA. THIS MODEL USUALLY HANDLES
SURFACE FEATURES BETTER OVER THE ERN PACIFIC BUT THE 00Z RUN HAS YET
TO ARRIVE. THE 4KM WRF-GFS JUST IN SHOWS SUB-WARNING WINDS
DEVELOPING BEHIND A WARM FRONT LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. WILL LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE BUT THE NEXT SHIFT
WILL PROBABLY KICK IT OVER TO AN ADVISORY COAST/N INTERIOR. MUCH
MORE BORDERLINE FOR PUGET SOUND BUT PROBABLY JUST BELOW ADVISORY
LEVEL.

ONE AREA OF HIGH CONFIDENCE IS THE ROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY
PRECIPITATION ON THE WAY. SLY FLOW BEHIND THE WARM FROM WILL DROP A
QUICK 1-1.5 INCHES OF RAIN ALONG THE LOWER S FACING MOUNTAIN SLOPES
THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL FALL INTO SUNDAY
MORNING WITH THE COLD FRONT. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL FLUCTUATE BUT
AVERAGE AROUND 4500 FEET. QPF AMOUNTS SUGGEST 12 TO 18 INCHES OF
SNOW ARE LIKELY ALONG S FACING SLOPES WHICH DO WELL IN SLY AND
W-SW FLOW. THE PASSES MAY STRUGGLE TO GET A FOOT IN 12 HOURS BUT
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT STEVENS WHERE ANY CHANGE OVER TO RAIN MAY
BE MORE BRIEF. WILL UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING.

THERE WILL BE A LULL IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING
TO MIDDAY SUNDAY. RAIN WILL INCREASE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A STRONG WARM FRONT. MODELS INDICATE THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE WETTER AND PRODUCE STRONGER WINDS THAN THE FIRST SYSTEM
MENTIONED ABOVE. MODELS SHOW 70 KT AT 925 MB ALONG THE COAST WHICH
COULD TRANSLATE TO GUSTS OVER 60 MPH. IT WILL BE VERY BLUSTERY
ELSEWHERE. A NEW WIND WATCH MAY BE NEEDED ONCE THE CURRENT WATCH IS
CONVERTED OVER ON THE NEXT SHIFT.  MERCER

.LONG TERM...FROM 300 PM DISCUSSION...TWO COLD FRONTS ARE LIKELY TUE
AND WED AND THESE BOTH LOOK LIKE PRETTY GOOD SNOW MAKERS FOR THE
MOUNTAINS...AND THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE LOWER TOO. A FAIRLY COLD AIR
MASS WILL BE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY WITH NW FLOW ALOFT AND LOW LEVEL
ONSHORE FLOW AS THE UPPER TROUGH THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE NE PACIFIC
THE PAST WEEK SAGS THROUGH THE REGION. THE TROUGH WILL BE INTO THE
FOUR CORNERS AREA FRIDAY AND A RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING AROUND 140W SO
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY COULD BE DRY WITH DAYTIME TEMPS PROBABLY WARMING
A BUT FROSTY NIGHTS A GOOD BET TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NO CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...TWO FRONTAL
SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH WESTERN WA OVER THE WEEKEND AND TWO MORE
ARE LIKELY NEXT WEEK...PROBABLY ON TUE AND ON WED. THE SNOW LEVELS
WILL AVERAGE NEAR PASS LEVEL OVER THE WEEKEND THEN WILL TREND A BIT
LOWER FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. FRONTS WILL BE PROGRESSIVE SO
THERE IS REALLY ONLY A CHANCE OF REACHING FLOOD STAGE ON THE MOST
FLOOD PRONE RIVER WHICH IS THE SKOKOMISH IN MASON COUNTY.

&&

.AVIATION...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY SATURDAY
MORNING BECOMING STRONG SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING.
AIR MASS STABLE WITH INCREASING MOISTURE ON SATURDAY.

FRONTAL SYSTEM OVER OREGON TONIGHT WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTH ON
SATURDAY MOVING THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. MOSTLY JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE AREA TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY MORNING. MID LEVEL CLOUDS INCREASING LATE SATURDAY
MORNING WITH CEILINGS CONTINUING TO LOWER DOWN TO AROUND 4000 FEET
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. COULD SEE SOME CEILINGS IN THE 2000 TO 3000 FOOT
RANGE WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

KSEA...JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS INTO SATURDAY MORNING. CEILINGS
LOWERING DOWN TO NEAR 4000 FEET AROUND 21Z SATURDAY WITH RAIN
DEVELOPING. SOUTHERLY WINDS 4 TO 8 KNOTS BECOMING EASTERLY 6 TO 10
KNOTS AROUND 12Z. EASTERLY WINDS CONTINUING UNTIL MID AFTERNOON.
FELTON

&&

.MARINE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WATERS TONIGHT. STRONG FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH 980 MB LOW MOVING INLAND JUST NORTH OF VANCOUVER
ISLAND MOVING THROUGH THE WATERS ON SATURDAY. GALES FORCE WINDS
EXPECTED OVER ALL THE WATERS. WINDS EASING A LITTLE SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY MORNING THEN INCREASING AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE
NEXT SYSTEM REACHING THE AREA. GALES POSSIBLE OVER MOST OF THE
WATERS WITH THIS SYSTEM AS WELL. NEXT SYSTEM ION THIS SERIES
ARRIVING ON TUESDAY. FELTON
