AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
920 AM PST MON DEC 7 2015

.SYNOPSIS...STRONG PACIFIC FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL BRING RAIN WITH A
HIGH SNOW LEVEL THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. RIVER FLOODING IS LIKELY AND
THE WEATHER WILL BE WINDY AT TIMES WITH HIGH SURF ON THE OCEAN
BEACHES. THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK WILL BE COOLER AND MORE SHOWERY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...RAIN IS INCREASING AND SPREADING NORTH OVER WESTERN
WASHINGTON THIS MORNING. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL RISE THROUGH
TONIGHT...PUTTING PRESSURE ON ALREADY HIGH RUNNING RIVERS. A FLOOD
WATCH IS IN EFFECT...AND THERE ARE FLOOD WARNINGS UP FOR THE
SKOKOMISH AND SATSOP. THERE IS A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT THIS
MORNING ALONG THE OREGON COAST AND PRESSURES ARE FALLING ALONG THE
OCCLUSION AND INTO ABOUT A 993 MB LOW CENTER OFFSHORE. A SECOND
FRONTAL SYSTEM IS WELL OFFSHORE BUT SPEEDING TOWARD THE AREA AHEAD
OF A 160KT JETSTREAM. THE MOUNTAINS WILL GET HEAVY RAIN ON TUESDAY
AND MORE RIVERS SHOULD JOIN THOSE ALREADY IN FLOOD. THE HEAVY RAIN
AND ALREADY WET SOIL PROMPTED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE
RISK OF MUDSLIDES OR LANDSLIDES. THE SECOND FRONTAL SYSTEM COULD
BRING HIGH WINDS ALONG THE COAST...THE UW WRFGFS SHOWS SOUTHERLY
WIND GUSTS AROUND 50KT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TUESDAY. THE FORECAST
ON THE COAST HAS GUSTS TO 40 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...THAT
SHOULD ARRIVE FASTER THAN THE FORECAST AS SLY WINDS WORK NORTH FROM
THE OREGON COAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE FORECAST FOR COASTAL WIND
GUSTS TO 60 MPH ON TUESDAY LOOKS GOOD...WITH A HIGH WIND WATCH IN
EFFECT.

.LONG TERM...CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD IS RATHER
LOW...BUT THE MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE THAT IT WILL BE A PERIOD
OF ACTIVE BUT COOLER WEATHER. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL PROBABLY BE IN
THE 2500 TO 3500 FT RANGE THE ENTIRE PERIOD. AN OCCLUDED FRONT
WILL PROBABLY SWING THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON AROUND THURSDAY...
AND ANOTHER FRONT WILL PROBABLY MOVE THROUGH AT SOME POINT.
BETWEEN FRONTS IT SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT SHOWERY. SNOWFALL IN THE
MOUNTAINS DURING THE PERIOD SHOULD BE AROUND 1 TO 3 FT AND
POSSIBLY MORE. MCDONNAL

&&

.AVIATION...STRONG AND MOIST WESTERLY JET STREAM FLOW ALOFT WITH A
STORMY PATTERN THROUGH TUE. DISTURBANCES ALONG THE JET STREAM WILL
SUPPORT ENHANCED RAIN AND MOST-REDUCED VSBYS THIS AFTN AND AGAIN ON
TUE. PERHAPS A SHORT LULL IN RAIN TONIGHT.

KSEA...SEVERAL HOURS OF MODERATE RAIN AND REDUCED VSBY THROUGH ABT
23Z...EASING BY 00Z. IFR CIGS BELOW 020 WILL CONTINUE THIS EVNG.
PERHAPS A BRIEF PERIOD OF VFR CONDS WITH CIGS ABOVE 030
OVERNIGHT...THEN CIGS COMING BACK DOWN BY 12Z TUE. MODERATE RAIN AND
REDUCED VSBY EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF DAY ON TUE.
OTHERWISE...DETAILS OF WIND A CONCERN. TWO OF OUR HIGHEST-RESOLUTION
PIECES OF GUIDANCE SHOW ABOUT 2-3 HOURS THIS AFTN WITH A LIGHT
NORTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE SFC WIND...CENTERED ON THE TIME PERIOD
FROM ABT 21Z-23Z. MOVING FORWARD TO TUE...STRONG 2000-FOOT WINDS
EXPECTED...PEAKING IN THE 15Z-21Z TIME FRAME. DURING THAT
TIME...2000-FOOT WINDS OF 45-55 KT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ARE
FORECAST.		HANER

&&

.MARINE... A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. SEAS
WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE. ANOTHER STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM
WILL ARRIVE ON TUE. AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL PERSIST WED THROUGH FRI
DUE TO A SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS OF VARYING STRENGTHEN MOVING
ACROSS ACROSS THE AREA.

THE EXTRA-TROPICAL STORM SURGE SITE INDICATES THE HIGHEST TIDES
ALONG THE COAST...BASED ON TOKE POINT...WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO THE
HIGHEST ASTRONOMICAL TIDE LEVEL MIDDAY TUESDAY AND MIDDAY WEDNESDAY.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF LARGE EXPECTED ANOMALIES OVER THE NORMAL
PREDICTED TIDE LEVEL. COASTAL SWELL COULD BE W-SW 12-16 FT DURING
THESE TWO HIGH TIDE PERIODS...WHICH MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME
MINOR TIDAL OVERFLOW. BEACH EROSION COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM WITH
WAVES RUNNING HIGHER UP BEACHES. CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MODERATE WITH
THIS AND CONDITIONS COULD TREND LOWER. 33/05

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE SKOKOMISH AND SATSOP HAVE FLOOD WARNINGS NOW...
HERE IS THE 4AM DISCUSSION: THE WARM FRONT MOVING INTO WESTERN
WASHINGTON TODAY WILL BRING AROUND 1 TO 2.5 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION
TO THE MOUNTAINS. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL START AROUND 4500 FT AND RISE
TO 5500 TO 6500 FT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. THEN A QUICK
SUCCESSION OF FRONTS WILL BRING ROUGHLY 4 TO 9 INCHES OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL CLIMB TO 8000 FT TUESDAY...THEN START
FALLING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT TO AROUND 3500 TO 4500 FT LATE
WEDNESDAY.

THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE MOUNTAINS WILL PROBABLY PRODUCE
FLOODING ON THE MORE FLOOD PRONE RIVERS IN WESTERN WASHINGTON. IN
FACT THE LATEST RIVER FORECASTS FROM THE NORTHWEST RIVER FORECAST
CENTER INDICATE THAT THERE WILL BE MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ON
MOST ALL THE RIVERS THAT FLOW OFF THE OLYMPICS AND THE WEST SLOPES
OF THE CASCADES...AS WELL AS THE CHEHALIS RIVER AND ITS
TRIBUTARIES THE NEWAUKUM AND SKOOKUMCHUCK. FLOODING COULD BEGIN AS
EARLY AS TUESDAY...BUT IT LOOKS NOW LIKE MOST OF THE FLOODING WILL
BEGIN TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY. MOST RIVERS SHOULD CREST
WEDNESDAY OR WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

WE WILL ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY
THIS MORNING...ESSENTIALLY AN UPGRADE TO THE FLOOD POTENTIAL
OUTLOOK THAT WAS ISSUED SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

THE EXCEPTION TO ALL OF THIS IS THE SKOKOMISH RIVER...WHICH HAS
BEEN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE MOST OF THE TIME SINCE LAST THURSDAY AND IS
ABOVE ITS MAJOR FLOOD STAGE CURRENTLY. IT WILL CONTINUE TO FLOOD
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THERE WILL ALSO BE AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR LANDSLIDES DURING
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE USGS LANDSLIDE GUIDANCE IS CURRENTLY BELOW
THE THRESHOLD FOR A THREAT. BUT WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN LIKELY ALONG
THE COAST AND 2 TO 5 INCHES OVER MOST OF THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS...
THAT IS LIKELY TO CHANGE. MCDONNAL
