AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
900 AM PST FRI DEC 11 2015

MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WITH BRINGING
WINDY AND RAINY WEATHER. SUNDAY WILL BE SHOWERY AND BREEZY. EARLY
NEXT WEEK SHOULD HAVE MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER WITH COOL CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE LOW CENTER RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH OF THE WEATHER
DURING THE PRECEDING TWO DAYS IS NOW OFF ASTORIA AND IS FILLING. IT
WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN OREGON THIS AFTERNOON. RAIN AND CLOUDS WILL
CONTINUE OVER SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON BUT THERE WILL BE SOME CLEARING
TODAY OVER NORTHERN AREAS. GRADIENTS THROUGH PUGET SOUND HAVE TURNED

LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 30S. HEIGHTS WILL BEGIN IN THE 530S BUT
RISE TO THE 540S LATER IN THE NIGHT. THERE WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS
IN THE EVENING AND THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A LITTLE SNOW AT THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE LOWLANDS. FOR INSTANCE THE NORTH SLOPES OF
THE OLYMPICS...WITH SOME UPSLOPE NORTHERLY FLOW...COULD RECEIVE A
SKIFF OF SNOW DOWN TO 1500 FEET OR A BIT LOWER.

ANOTHER DEEP LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST INTO NORTHERN VANCOUVER
ISLAND SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AN ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL SPREAD RAIN AND
WIND INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON...BEGINNING ON THE COAST SATURDAY
MORNING AND REACHING INLAND AREAS IN THE AFTERNOON. THE COAST AND
NORTHERN INLAND AREAS WILL LIKELY HAVE WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS.
THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE 2500-3500 FEET AND WINTER STORM AMOUNTS OF
SNOW ARE DEFINITELY POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS. WILL ISSUE A WINTER
STORM WATCH THIS AFTERNOON OR POSSIBLY JUST GO WITH A WARNING.

ON SUNDAY STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL GIVE BREEZY CONDITIONS TO THE
AREA. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS MAY CONTINUE IN SOME PLACES. THE WEATHER
WILL BE SHOWERY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES. HIGHS WILL BE
MOSTLY IN THE 40S BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. BURKE

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...SHOWERS WILL DECREASE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY AND WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO THE FAR SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND CASCADES AS WE MOVE ONTO TUESDAY. THE AIR
MASS WILL BE COOL WITH SNOW LEVELS GRADUALLY LOWERING TO AROUND 1500
FEET MONDAY AS SHOWERS COME TO AN END.

A WEAK SYSTEM WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. WHILE SNOW
LEVELS MAY LOWER TO 1000 FEET TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY...IT
NO LONGER APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE ANY THREAT OF SNOW IN THE MORE
POPULATED LOWLANDS.

THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY WET AND WARM
WITH A SYSTEM THAT PASSES ACROSS THE AREA LATER WED INTO THU.
THIS MAY PRODUCE SOME RENEWED FLOODING ON A COUPLE OF RIVERS IN THE
AREA LATER NEXT WEEK. SEE THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. ALBRECHT

&&

.AVIATION...WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY. A
SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE INLAND OVER NORTHERN OREGON TODAY. A STRONG

&&

.MARINE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INLAND OVER NORTHERN
OREGON TODAY WITH WIND EASING LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. LARGE WEST

ANOTHER LARGE SWELL TRAIN WILL MOVE INTO THE COASTAL WATERS LATER
SATURDAY.

STRONG ONSHORE FLOW ON SUNDAY WILL WEAKEN MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE
LARGE SWELL WILL ALSO SUBSIDE. SCHNEIDER

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE CHEHALIS RIVER AT PORTER WILL CREST THIS MORNING.
EXPECT THE FLOOD CREST TO REACH GRAYS HARBOR EARLY SATURDAY. THE
CURRENT FORECAST HAS THE CHEHALIS RIVER AT PORTER FALLING BELOW
FLOOD STAGE SUNDAY NIGHT. PLEASE NOTE THAT HIGH TIDE LEVELS AT

AT SNOHOMISH IS FORECAST TO FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE THIS MORNING.
THE GREEN RIVER AT AUBURN WILL LIKELY FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE SKOKOMISH RIVER IS NOT FORECAST TO
