Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
830 PM PDT FRI JUL 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...An upper level low in the Gulf of Alaska is expected to
move east into southern British Columbia during the Independence Day
holiday weekend. This weather pattern will continue westerly flow
aloft with embedded weak weather systems that will maintain marine
cloudiness, a small threat of precipitation at times and near early
July average temperatures into next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Satellite imagery shows an upper low in the Gulf of
Alaska near 55N/149W with westerly flow aloft running under the low.
Jetstream wind speeds are running between 80 and 100 knots - typical
for this time of year, with embedded shortwaves in the flow.

Water vapor imagery shows the weak shortwaves best with one moving
east of the state this evening, the next one near 135W and the
following one near 170W. The progs are all rather consistent in the
timing of these shortwaves as they move ashore and dissipate. The
135W edition to move onshore Saturday and the 170W system due
Sunday. Any precipitation to be limited and light, confined
primarily to orographic areas, closer to the Canadian border, and it
appears even a weak Puget Sound Convergence Zone could develop
briefly at times.

This evening's KUIL raob showed the tops of the marine layer near
5000 ft. With low level onshore flow continuing, lots of marine
cloudiness - for inland areas mainly late nights and mornings, with
temperatures running close to early July readings through the
holiday weekend. No update to the forecast package this evening.
Celebrate the Fourth safely! Buehner

.LONG TERM...From the previous edition - A broad upper trough will
remain over the area Tuesday and Wednesday but no organized weather
systems are expected to move through. Models are beginning to
converge on the idea that a somewhat sharper and wetter upper trough
will settle over the area Thursday and Friday for a showery period.
This is still a pretty new idea in the models and confidence in the
details is not especially high. Schneider

&&

.AVIATION...Westerly flow aloft with low level onshore flow
through Saturday night. A weak front over the coastal waters will
dissipate as it moves inland this evening. Another weak front will
dissipate as it moves inland Saturday night. The air mass is stable.
The air mass will be somewhat moist on the coast and moist-mainly at
mid and high levels in the interior.

Ceilings are around 3500 feet around the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
portions of the northern interior, around 6000 feet in the central
portions of the interior, and 12000 feet or above in the interior
south of Seattle. Low IFR ceilings are seen on the coast north of
Hoquiam. Expect stratus on the coast to push inland overnight
reaching the interior terminals around 12Z at about 1500 ft. The
stratus will likely break then scatter about 19Z Saturday.
Albrecht

KSEA...Mainly mid and high level clouds tonight. Expect stratus with
bases around 1500 to spread into the terminal about 12Z and continue
through about 19Z when it will scatter out. VFR conditions are
expected Saturday afternoon. Northwest winds 4-7 kt will shift to NE
by 06Z then become southerly 12Z-18Z. Albrecht

&&

.MARINE...A weak frontal system over the coastal waters will
dissipate as it moves inland this evening. Another weak frontal
system will dissipate as it moves inland Saturday night. Overall,
higher pressure offshore combined with lower pressure east of the
Cascades will give moderate to strong onshore flow during the late
afternoon and overnight hours through the middle of next week.

Small craft advisory strength winds are likely in the Strait of Juan
de Fuca each evening. The exception will be Saturday night and
Sunday night when there will be about a 40 percent chance of gale
force winds in the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Albrecht

.SEW Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
WA...None.
PZ...Small Craft Advisory from 6 PM this evening to 5 AM PDT Saturday
     for Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca-East
     Entrance U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca.
