AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
925 AM PST FRI DEC 4 2015

.SYNOPSIS...LOWER PRESSURE ALOFT MOVING ACROSS WASHINGTON TODAY WILL
GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS. A PARADE OF PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEMS ARE
LINED UP OFFSHORE. THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE SATURDAY WITH MORE
RAIN AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS. THE NEXT SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD
MORE RAIN ONSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS WILL BRING MORE
WET AND WINDY WEATHER TO THE AREA WELL INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...IN THE BIG PICTURE...A NICE ZONAL PATTERN IS IN PLACE
WITH A STRONG JETSTREAM ZIPPING EMBEDDED SYSTEMS EAST TOWARD THE
PACIFIC NW. THE JET MAX THIS MORNING OFF JAPAN IS 180 KT WITH
ANOTHER JET MAX BETWEEN 160-170W AT OVER 140 KT.

AN UPPER TROUGH IS OVER THE PACIFIC NW THIS MORNING MOVING INLAND.
ASSOCIATED COOL UNSTABLE AIR IS GENERATING SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER
WESTERN WASHINGTON. SNOW LEVELS ARE CLOSE TO 3000 FT WITH PERHAPS
2 TO 5 INCHES OF NEW SHOW INTO TONIGHT.

THIS RELATIVE SHORT BREAK IN THE ACTION TO BE SHORTLIVED. THE NEXT
SYSTEM WAS CROSSING 140W THIS MORNING AND THE 12Z GUIDANCE IN THUS
FAR SHOWS RAIN SPREADING ONSHORE WITH THE WARM FRONT SATURDAY.
PRESSURE GRADIENTS TIGHTEN UP AS THIS SYSTEM APPROACHES AND WIND
ADVISORIES FOR THE COAST AND NORTH INTERIOR BEING EXAMINED AND MAY
BE NEEDED. MORE ON THIS LATER TODAY. SNOW LEVELS TO RISE WITH THE
INCOMING WARMER AIR THOUGH EASTERLY WINDS THRU THE PASSES WILL
MAINTAIN COOLER AIR THERE.

THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SWINGS ONSHORE BY EARLY SUNDAY WITH
PRECIPITATION TURNING MORE SHOWERY AND SNOW LEVELS DROPPING DOWN
CLOSE TO 4000-4500 FT. THE FOLLOWING SYSTEM ARRIVES BY MONDAY WITH
WARMER AIR...MORE RAIN AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS AGAIN. BUEHNER

.LONG TERM...FROM THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...ALL THE MODELS SHOW A
VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUING DURING THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD THROUGH THURSDAY. A 100 TO 160 KT WESTERLY JET OVER THE
NORTHEAST PACIFIC WILL DIRECT A SERIES OF VIGOROUS FRONTAL SYSTEMS
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WITH RAINY AND AT TIMES WINDY OR
POSSIBLY VERY WINDY WEATHER. THE MODELS DO NOT AGREE VERY WELL ON
TIMING AND DETAILS LIKE SURFACE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATED WITH EACH
FRONT. THE GFS AND UW WRF SHOW HEAVIER PRECIPITATION AND HIGHER SNOW
LEVELS...WHILE THE EUROPEAN MODEL HAS LESS PRECIPITATION AND LOWER
SNOW LEVELS. BUT ALL MODELS KEEP THE SNOW LEVEL ABOVE 4500 FT UNTIL
AROUND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. MCDONNAL

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE SKOKOMISH RIVER CRESTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND IT
WILL FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE LATER THIS MORNING. OTHER RIVER FLOODING
IS UNLIKELY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE FORECAST RAINFALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WILL ALMOST
CERTAINLY DRIVE THE SKOKOMISH RIVER ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AGAIN
SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY. RAIN FALL AMOUNTS NOW LOOK INSUFFICIENT FOR
THE NOOKSACK RIVER TO EXCEED FLOOD STAGE. NORTHWEST RIVER
FORECAST CENTER GUIDANCE KEEPS ALL OTHER WESTERN WASHINGTON RIVERS
BELOW FLOOD STAGE...BUT A FEW OF THE RIVERS FLOWING OFF THE WEST
SLOPES OF THE CASCADES BETWEEN THE SNOHOMISH AND SKAGIT BASINS COULD
REACH BANKFULL.

LONG RANGE MODELS DO NOT AGREE WELL ON DETAILS FOR MONDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY. THEY ALL KEEP THE PATTERN PROGRESSIVE BUT QUITE WET...
ESPECIALLY THE GFS AND UW WRF. NO PARTICULAR SYSTEM KEEPS HEAVY RAIN
OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON FOR VERY LONG...BUT THE RECENT WET WEATHER
AND THE ACCUMULATION OF RAINFALL -- MAYBE AS MUCH AS 10 TO 15 INCHES
IN PARTS OF THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES -- COULD RESULT IN AT LEAST
SOME MINOR FLOODING NEXT WEEK. BUEHNER/BURKE

&&

.AVIATION...A FAST-MOVING PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS IN PLACE. A
BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING SLIGHTLY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TODAY. A
BRIEF UPPER RIDGE TONIGHT WILL BRINGING THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD FOR
VFR CONDITIONS. STRONG SW FLOW ALOFT WILL RESUME SATURDAY...PUSHING
A STRONG WARM FRONT INTO WRN WA WITH PLENTY OF WIND AND OCCASIONALLY
HEAVY RAIN.

KSEA...17Z CIGS OBSERVED AT 024. CIGS MAY IMPROVE SLOWLY THIS
AFTN...THOUGH A BRIEF SHOWER APPEARS LIKELY AT ALMOST ANY TIME.
MORE SUBSTANTIAL SCATTERING AND LIFTING IS EXPECTED THIS EVNG ARND
03Z...AS AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE SURFACE WIND CAUSES SOME
DRYING. ON SATURDAY...WINDS ALOFT WILL INCREASE...WITH 2000-FOOT
WINDS OUT OF THE S-SW AT 40-50 KT AFT 16Z. LOOKING FOR RAIN WITH
REDUCED VSBY AT TIMES ON SAT...BUT EASTERLY COMPONENT TO LOW-LEVEL
WIND WILL KEEP CIGS AOA 035 THROUGH DAYLIGHT HOURS SAT.	HANER

&&

.MARINE...A RELATIVE LULL IN AN OTHERWISE STORMY WEEK IS OCCURRING
RIGHT NOW...BUT HAVE HAD TO HOIST SCA FOR PUGET SOUND FOR TODAY...
GIVEN ENOUGH INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY GRADIENT.

A STRONG WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NE ACROSS THE WATERS ON SAT...BRINGING
GALES TO ALL SOUTHEAST-WIND PRONE AREAS...INCLUDING THE COAST...THE
NORTHERN INLAND WATERS...AND BOTH ENTRANCES TO THE STRAIT. ROUGH
SEAS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ON SATURDAY AS COMBINED
SEAS RISE TO 20 TO 25 FEET.

THE STRONG WARM FRONT PASSES EAST OF THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY TWO MORE STRONG FRONTS SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY.

THESE FRONTS WILL GIVE ANOTHER PERIOD OF GALES TO THE COASTAL
WATERS...EAST ENTRANCE TO THE STRAIT AND NORTHERN INLAND WATERS. BY
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...SEA IN THE COASTAL WATERS MAY RISE
TO OVER 25 FEET.

AFTER ANOTHER LULL ON TUESDAY...ANOTHER STRONG FRONT IS EXPECTED
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  HANER/ALBRECHT

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...
PZ...GALE WARNING COAST...WEST ENTRANCE...EAST ENTRANCE...AND
   NORTHERN INLAND WATERS FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SAT EVNG.
   SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS COAST AND WEST
