Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
357 AM PST Sun Dec 11 2016

.SYNOPSIS...An upper trough will move through Western Washington
today for cool showery weather in the lowlands and snow in the
mountains. A cold front will move south through Western Washington
tonight and Monday, ushering in much colder air and a chance of
some lowland snow. Cold dry weather is likely Tuesday and
Wednesday, and there is another chance of snow late in the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...A small upper shortwave trough moved through
Western Washington Saturday afternoon and evening, and then east
of the Cascades overnight. There are still scattered showers over
the area early this morning, as cool moist and unstable westerly
flow continues. Fairly strong westerly flow and deep moisture
mean that the west slopes of the mountains are receiving the
heaviest precipitation, with roughly another 6 to 10 inches of
snow overnight in the Cascades. The snow level is 2000 to 2500 ft.

Moist westerly flow will continue today, as another small
shortwave moves quickly across the forecast area. It will be a
showery day with highs in the upper 30s to mid 40s. A Puget Sound
convergence zone will probably form behind the shortwave late
today or this evening, with showers becoming focused mainly in the
convergence, over the mountains, and at the coast. The snow level
will be around 1500 to 2000 ft, with another 8 to 18 inches of
snow in the mountains. The winter storm warning will remain in
effect through tonight.

Also, surface high pressure associated with a dome of cold air
will begin moving south from northwest Canada into British
Columbia today and tonight, while a weak surface low moves
southeast from the west side of Vancouver Island to the Washington
coast. This will induce another round of northerly offshore low
level flow, with Fraser River outflow winds developing this
evening from around Bellingham northward in Whatcom County and
across the north part of the San Juans. High winds -- by
definition sustained 40 mph and/or gusts 60 mph -- seem unlikely
though, and we will change the high wind watch to a wind advisory.

Fairly moist westerly flow aloft will continue Monday, with a
minor upper ridge moving into Western Washington. At low levels
the cold air from the Fraser River outflow will move southward,
and by Monday afternoon or evening it should be cold enough for
precipitation to fall as snow over the interior lowlands from
around Olympia northward. Whether or not there will be significant
precipitation at that time, though, is a big question; in general
the models agree that the air mass will be simultaneously drying
as it cools, but they have poor agreement and poor run-to-run
consistency on details. The best chance for lowland snowfall is
most likely in the north interior of Western Washington late
Sunday night and Monday morning, and in a west-east convergence
band across the Puget Sound region Monday afternoon and evening.
Certainly some model ensemble members produce more snowfall, but
the most probable scenario is for a trace to 2 inches of snow in
those areas.

The threat of precipitation should decrease Monday night, with dry
northwest flow aloft bringing a cool and mostly sunny day Tuesday.
Highs Tuesday should be in the 30s, and the cool north breeze will
make it seem chillier yet. McDonnal

.LONG TERM...Models agree that cool dry weather should continue
Wednesday. An upper low well west of Washington on Wednesday will
move southeast to the west coast Thursday night and Friday, with
precipitation spreading inland ahead of it. But models disagree
considerably on timing and location of the precipitation; the GFS
brings it into our forecast area late Thursday and Thursday night,
while the ECMWF brings it inland mostly to our south Thursday
night and Friday. For now, I think the best we can realistically
say is that there is a chance of some lowland snow again late in
the week. A big lowland snowstorm looks unlikely. We should see a
return to cool dry weather behind that system on Saturday.
McDonnal

&&

.AVIATION...Weak high pres aloft with light westerly flow will
prevail across the region today. Low level onshore flow will
grdlly weaken. The air mass will be slightly unstable unstable
today. The short range ensemble forecast was hinting at a slight
probability of ISOLD tstms over the coast today. Kept the mention
of tstms out of the forecast due to lack of a lifting mechanism.

Meanwhile, expect areas of MVFR CIGs/VSBYs to become more
widespread after sunrise. The mtns will be obscd.

KSEA...CIGs will continue to bounce back and forth between MVFR
and VFR categories for a few hours. MVFR CIGs should become the
rule later this morning and then persist thru this afternoon. CIGs
are anticipated to lift into VFR category late today. Gusty sly
winds will gradually diminish this morning.

&&

.MARINE...
A 1007 mb Low off the northern tip of Vancouver Island will move
southeast during the day today while weakening. The low will move
over the Washington coastal waters late tonight. BY then, the
central pressure will have risen to 1015 mb. This will result in
gradually weakening onshore flow.

Meanwhile, expect a weak modified arctic front to move south
across the northern inland waters (north of Skagit Bay) late
tonight, and then slowly across the rest of the area on Monday.
Gale force northerlies are anticipated to develop late tonight
over the U.S. Georgia Strait but confidence of this occurring was
still not high, hence the Gale Watch.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...River flooding is not expected for the next 7 days.
