AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
916 AM PST SAT MAR 12 2016

.SYNOPSIS...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON THIS
MORNING MOVES EAST. A STRONG FRONT WITH A DEEP SURFACE LOW SHOULD
PRODUCE VERY WINDY WEATHER SUNDAY AND SUNDAY EVENING...PLUS LOWLAND
RAIN AND SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. COOL MOIST WESTERLY FLOW WILL
MAINTAIN SHOWERS MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH MORE MOUNTAIN SNOW.
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BRING SUNNY WEATHER THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE COLD FRONT OVER PUGET SOUND AT 16Z/8 AM WILL FALL
APART AS IT MOVES OVER THE CASCADES THIS MORNING. SHOWERS ARE
ALREADY MOVING INLAND ALONG THE COAST WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. IR IMAGERY SHOWS THE FETCH OF COLD UNSTABLE
AIR BEHIND THE FRONT EXTENDING ALL THE WAY OUT TO 140W THIS MORNING.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE COAST AND COASTAL WATERS
THIS MORNING AND FOR ALL OF W WA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT.

COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL LOWER SNOW LEVELS OVER THE CASCADES BELOW PASS
LEVELS BY LATE AFTERNOON. SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE CASCADES MAY BE
HEAVY AT TIMES...BUT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS FOR MOST OF THE AREA. A SNOW ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT
FOR THE MOUNT RAINIER AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.

LATEST GFS ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE
TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE STRONG 978 MB LOW THAT IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK NE ACROSS THE OLYMPICS AROUND 00Z/5 PM SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE
NAM IS THE ONLY MODEL THAT TAKES THE LOW FARTHER SOUTH. THIS IS A
CLASSIC PUGET SOUND WINDSTORM SCENARIO. THE GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT 36
HOURS OUT STILL DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS WILL BE THE ACTUAL TRACK OF
THE LOW...BUT IT SURE INCREASES CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS. THIS
SOLUTION WOULD MEAN THAT THE BACK BENT OCCLUSION WRAPPING AROUND THE
LOW STANDS A FAIR CHANCE OF MOVING UP PUGET SOUND...GIVING AT LEAST
A GLANCING BLOW TO THE INTERIOR. FORECASTS WILL GO WITH THE STRONGER
MODEL SOLUTIONS. MODEL TIMING HAS WINDS INCREASING TO WARNING LEVELS
CLOSE TO 00Z/5 PM ALONG THE CENTRAL COAST AND OVER PUGET
SOUND...THEN SPREADING TO THE N COAST AND N INTERIOR AROUND 02Z/7
PM. STRONGEST SUSTAINED WINDS SHOULD BE IN THE 35-45 MPH RANGE WITH
THE STRONGEST GUSTS NEAR 70 MPH. THERE WILL BE A SURGE OF WESTERLY
WINDS THROUGH THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA BEHIND THE LOW EARLY SUNDAY
EVENING...BUT THESE WINDS LOOK A NOTCH WEAKER. WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN
GRADUALLY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF SUNDAY EVENING.

PRECIPITATION WILL BE HEAVIER WITH THIS SYSTEM THAN TODAYS FRONT.
THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS SHOULD GET AROUND 0.50 TO 1.00 INCH OF
RAIN...WITH AROUND 1.00 TO 1.75 INCHES AT THE COAST. COOL MOIST
WESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE BEHIND THE SYSTEM ON MONDAY FOR SHOWERY
WEATHER...WITH THE AIR MASS DRYING SOMEWHAT ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE
SNOW LEVEL WILL BE 2500 TO 3000 FT SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN
FALL TO AROUND 2000 FT MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. SO THE HIGHWAY
PASSES OVER THE CASCADES...INCLUDING SNOQUALMIE PASS WILL RECEIVE
SNOW. SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 12 TO 18 INCHES ARE LIKELY FOR THE PERIOD
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT FOR SNOQUALMIE PASS AND STEVENS
PASS...AND 2 TO 3 FT OF NEW SNOW IS LIKELY FOR PARADISE AND MOUNT
BAKER. A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR PARADISE AND MOUNT
BAKER. KAM

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM THE 303 AM AFD...AN UPPER
RIDGE WILL BEGIN BUILDING WELL OFFSHORE ON TUESDAY...BUT A WEAKENING
FRONTAL SYSTEM ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIDGE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE MUCH LESS IMPACT WITH REGARD TO
WIND AND PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS... ALTHOUGH THE SNOW LEVEL WILL STILL
BE ONLY AROUND 2500 FT. SHOWERS SHOULD DECREASE MORE ON WEDNESDAY AS
THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS AND APPROACHES 130W...AND WE CAN EXPECT SUNNY
WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE RIDGE MOVES INTO THE OFFSHORE
WATERS AND THEN TO THE COAST. MCDONNAL

&&

.AVIATION...A BROAD UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH
SUNDAY. MODERATE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME STRONG S-SW FLOW ALOFT
SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT AS A STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS
THE AREA. WEAKLY UNSTABLE AND MOIST WITH SHOWERS....AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. RAIN WILL INCREASE SUNDAY...THEN BECOME SHOWERY
SUNDAY NIGHT. MOSTLY VFR CIGS TODAY THROUGH SOME SHOWERS COULD
TEMPORARILY PRODUCE MVFR CIGS.

KSEA...S WIND 10-15 KT W/ GUSTS 25 KT EASING TONIGHT.

VERY STRONG S-SW WINDS LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SURFACE SPEEDS COULD REACH 30-35 KT W/ SURFACE GUSTS UP TO
60 KT. DTM

&&

.MARINE...POST FRONTAL ONSHORE FLOW WILL PRODUCE SMALL CRAFT WINDS
OVER THE WATERS AT TIMES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. SEAS WILL ALSO BE
GRADUALLY BUILDING TO 10 TO 15 FEET TODAY...THEN TO 20 TO 26 FEET
SUNDAY.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING ABOUT THE TRACK OF
A DEEP LOW SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE LOW WILL DEVELOP OFF
THE OREGON COAST SUNDAY THEN MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS WASHINGTON SUNDAY
EVENING. THE CENTER OF THE LOW IS FORECAST TO HAVE A SURFACE PRES
CLOSE TO 975-980 MB. AS IT MOVES ACROSS WASHINGTON THE KPDX-KBLI PRES
GRADIENT COULD GET AS HIGH AS +17 MB. AFTER THE LOW PASSES STRONG
ONSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP WITH THE KUIL-KBLI GRADIENT.

STRONG WINDS OF AT LEAST GALE FORCE ARE PROBABLE OVER ALL WATERS.
STORM FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND BRIEFLY
IN SOME INTERIOR WATERS ALONG AND S OF THE LOW TRACK WHICH REMAINS
WHICH REMAINS SOMEWHAT IN QUESTION. NO CHANGES TO THE WATCHES THIS
MORNING.

SEAS WILL BUILD TO 20 TO 26 FT SUNDAY NIGHT  WITH THE HIGHEST SEAS
AROUND THE GRAYS HARBOR AREA. SOME BEACH EROSION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR.

ONSHORE FLOW WILL DIMINISH MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGH PRES WILL
BUILD OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY. CHB/DTM

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE SKOKOMISH RIVER WILL PROBABLY FLOOD AGAIN AROUND
SUNDAY NIGHT. A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MASON COUNTY.

OTHERWISE FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED ON AREA RIVERS FOR THE NEXT
WEEK.
