300 PM PST SAT DEC 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA TODAY. HIGH
WIND IS LIKELY ON THE COAST AND OVER THE NORTH INTERIOR WITH HEAVY
SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. SUNDAY WILL BE SHOWERY AND BREEZY. EARLY NEXT
WEEK SHOULD HAVE MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER WITH COOL CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...NO REAL CHANGES TO THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. THERE HAVE
BEEN NO HIGH WIND REPORTS YET BUT GRADIENTS ARE INCREASING AND THE
HIGHEST WINDS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR TONIGHT. THE DEEP LOW MOVING ONTO
NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND IS AROUND 975 MB SO THERE IS CERTAINLY
SCOPE FOR STRONGER GRADIENTS LATER TONIGHT. A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
THE COAST CONTINUES UNTIL 10 PM AND ONE FOR THE NORTH INTERIOR
CONTINUES UNTIL 1 AM.

THE OVERALL FORECAST IS FOR RAIN CHANGING TO SHOWERS TONIGHT...
FOLLOWED BY SHOWERS AND BREEZY CONDITIONS SUNDAY. SHOWERS WILL TAPER
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MOSTLY END ON MONDAY. TUESDAY WILL START DRY BUT A
WEAK IMPULSE COULD GIVE A LITTLE RAIN TO WESTERN SECTIONS IN THE
AFTERNOON.

CURRENTLY IT APPEARS TO BE SNOWING IN ALL THE PASSES IMPLYING A SNOW
LEVEL NO HIGHER THAN 3000 FEET. WINTER STORM AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE
LIKELY IN THE CASCADES. THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE CASCADES
REMAINS IN EFFECT WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE OLYMPICS.
NEW SNOW WILL AMOUNT TO 1-2 FEET IN THE CASCADES INCLUDING THE
PASSES AND UP TO A FOOT IN THE OLYMPICS.

THE MAIN CHANGE TO THE FORECAST IS ON WEDNESDAY. WHAT HAD EARLIER
LOOKED LIKE AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER IN THE MODELS IS NOW PRACTICALLY A
NON-EVENT. THE NEXT SYSTEM APPEARS LIKELY TO HEAD MOSTLY INTO OREGON
ON THURSDAY. HAVE CUT POPS TO CHANCE LEVELS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND TO
LOW CHANCE WEDNESDAY. THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE
WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 40S AND LOWS MOSTLY IN THE 30S. BURKE

.LONG TERM...MODEL DIVERGENCE OCCURS IMMEDIATELY WITH THURSDAY
MOSTLY DRY IN THE GFS AND MOSTLY WET IN THE EURO. HAVE KEPT CHANCE
OF LIKELY POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED. TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY BE A
LITTLE HIGHER IN THE EXTENDED. BURKE

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE ONLY RIVER REACHES STILL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE ARE THE
SKOKOMISH AND THE LOWER CHEHALIS. THE SKOKOMISH RIVER BEGAN RISING
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO RAINFALL TODAY. THIS WILL
DELAY ITS FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE BUT MAJOR FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
THE CREST ON THE CHEHALIS WILL REACH GRAYS HARBOR TODAY AND MAY BE A
BIT HIGHER THAN USUAL DUE TO HIGH TIDES. BOTH THE SKOKOMISH AND
LOWER CHEHALIS WILL FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE ON SUNDAY. NO ADDITIONAL
RIVER FLOODING IS EXPECTED THROUGH DAY 7. BURKE

&&

.AVIATION...A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE INLAND TONIGHT WITH
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. A SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK INLAND THROUGH
SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA TONIGHT. STRONG ONSHORE FLOW WILL
PREVAIL SUNDAY. AIR MASS MOIST AND STABLE...BECOMING SLIGHTLY
UNSTABLE SUNDAY.

KSEA...LOW CLOUDS AND OCCASIONAL REDUCED VISIBILITIES WILL
PREVAIL TONIGHT AS A FRONT MOVES INLAND. THE LOW LEVELS WILL DRY A
BIT ON SUNDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RISE TO 12-22 KNOTS TONIGHT.
