AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
843 PM PST MON JAN 25 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A WARM FRONT WILL BRUSH BY WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY...BRINGING RAIN. A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT WILL THEN CROSS
WESTERN WASHINGTON ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A PERIOD OF HEAVY
RAIN THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. A LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL PASS NORTH
OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY...WITH A TRAILING FRONT BRINGING RAINY AND
WINDY CONDITIONS. OVER THE WEEKEND...AN UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN U.S WILL BRING COOL AND SOMETIMES SHOWERY WEATHER TO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A THICKER BAND OF
CLOUDS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE SOUND AND CONTINUING TO PUSH
EASTWARD. OTHERWISE...BULK OF DENSER CLOUD COVER IS STILL
OFFSHORE...ALTHOUGH NO SHORTAGE OF UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS OVER WESTERN
WASHINGTON THIS EVENING. CURRENT RADAR SHOWS SOME BANDS OF LIGHT
PRECIP STARTING TO MAKE THEIR WAY ONTO THE OLYMPIC
PENINSULA...ALTHOUGH DISSIPATING AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD.
PRECIP...LIKE THE HEAVIER CLOUD COVER...PROBABLY WILL NOT BE MUCH OF
AN IMPACT TO WESTERN WASHINGTON UNTIL THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE
WARM FRONT MAKES ITS WAY ONSHORE.

INTENSIFYING UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MAY ALLOW FOR PRECIP TO TRANSITION
FROM STRATIFORM TO MORE SHOWERY LATE TUE NIGHT AND INTO
WED...ALTHOUGH THE PRESENCE OF A LITTLE SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE
WILL KEEP THE RISK FOR PRECIP OVER THE AREA. MAIN COLD FRONT LOOKS
TO BE ON TRACK FOR MAKING ITS WAY ONSHORE LATE WED AFTERNOON/WED
EVENING...BUT PASSING THROUGH BY THU AFTERNOON. THIS SPAN OF 24
HOURS...WED AFTERNOON THROUGH THU AFTERNOON...MAY BRING WITH IT
OCCASIONAL HEAVY RAINS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND
OF FLOODING ON THE SKOKOMISH...THUS THE INHERITED FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN PLACE. OTHER RIVERS MAY SEE SIGNIFICANT RISES...BUT
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THEY WILL MOST LIKELY REMAIN BELOW FLOOD
STAGE. SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR 7000 FEET DURING THE
HEAVIEST RAIN ON WED NGT AND THU MORNING.

BEHIND THE FRONT...RAIN WILL START TO TAPER OFF THU AFTN...WITH SNOW
LEVELS FALLING TO NEAR 4000 FEET. PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS SHOWED SOME
DISAGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO PRECIP TAPERING OFF...BUT CURRENT DATA
SHOWS THEM STARTING TO AGREE SOMEWHAT. GFS AND NAM SOLUTIONS REMAIN
CONSISTENT ON BRINGING A FULL FLEDGED BREAK IN THE ACTION THU NIGHT
INTO FRI MORNING. THE ECMWF LESS SO...WITH ONLY A SMALL BREAK IN THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS FRI.

INHERITED FORECAST COVERS ALL THE POINTS RAISED ABOVE...THUS NO
NEED FOR ANY EVENING CHANGES OR UPDATES. SMR

.LONG TERM...FROM 345 PM PST DISCUSSION...AN ACTIVE ZONAL JET STREAM
AXIS WILL BE LOCATED JUST TO OUR SOUTH ON THU NGT AND EARLY FRI.
THIS WILL HELP TO QUICKLY SPIN UP A SURFACE LOW OFFSHORE THAT WILL
THEN TRACK TO THE NE. MODELS ARE VERY DIFFERENT WITH HOW THEY HANDLE
THE FEATURE. SOME MODELS AND RUN TAKE A STRONG LOW INTO VANCOUVER
ISLAND...WHILE OTHER GUIDANCE TAKES A WEAKER BUT DEVELOPING LOW
DIRECTLY ACROSS WRN WA. EITHER WAY...IT WILL BRING LOWLAND RAIN AND
MTN SNOW...AND IT WILL GET WINDY AS THE LOW PASSES EAST OF OUR
LONGITUDE AS SW GRADIENTS PICK UP. THE LOW TRACK WILL MAINLY AFFECT
HOW WINDY IT GETS AND WHERE IT GETS THE WINDIEST.

AN EVEN COLDER AIR MASS SWEEPS IN ON FRI EVNG BEHIND THE LOW. AN
UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG OUT OVER THE WRN U.S. THIS WEEKEND...WITH
SOMEWHAT UNSETTLE NW FLOW ALOFT OVER WRN WA. THIS WILL LEAD TO
COOL TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS AROUND 1000-2000 FEET. A FEW
SHOWERS SHOULD OCCUR AT TIMES...WITH PLENTY OF BREAKS BETWEEN
SHOWERS. 		HANER

&&

.AVIATION...UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST OVER THE
INTERIOR PAC NW AND FLATTEN. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NE ACROSS WRN WA
ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. LIGHT SLY FLOW ALOFT BECOMING MODERATE
SW FLOW ALOFT AFTER MIDNIGHT. INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS...THEN
MOIST AT ALL LEVELS BY DAYBREAK. STABLE ATMOSPHERE.

WARM FRONTAL RAINFALL ALONG THE COAST WILL SLOWLY SPREAD INLAND BY
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY
DETERIORATE TO MVFR ALONG THE COAST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THE INTERIOR
OF WESTERN WASHINGTON TUESDAY MORNING. BRIEF IFR POSSIBLE WITH VIS
DOWN TO 2-4SM TUESDAY.

KSEA...SOUTHEAST WIND 4-8 KT...BECOMING SOUTH 8-13 KT TUESDAY. HIGH
BASED SPRINKLES ARE POSSIBLE AT THE TERMINAL TONIGHT BUT STEADY
LIGHT RAIN SHOULD BEGIN AFTER AROUND 10Z (2 AM PST). VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PROBABLY DETERIORATE TO LOW-END MVFR BY LATE MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. DTM

&&

.MARINE...NO UPDATES. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS
WESTERN WASHINGTON AND ITS COASTAL WATERS LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
IT SHOULD BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS TO THE COASTAL
WATERS...ENTRANCES TO THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA...ADMIRALTY
INLET...NORTHERN INLAND WATERS... AND POSSIBLY PUGET SOUND.

A STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY...AND IT SHOULD PRODUCE GALES OVER THE WATERS WITH
THE PROBABLE EXCEPTION OF THE CENTRAL STRAIT AND PUGET SOUND. A GALE
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE COASTAL WATERS.

ANOTHER FRONT AND POSSIBLY A SURFACE LOW WILL FOLLOW QUICKLY ON
FRIDAY...BUT THERE IS LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY ON HOW STRONG THIS FEATURE
WILL BE AND WHAT TRACK IT WILL FOLLOW. WEAK ONSHORE FLOW WILL FOLLOW
ON SATURDAY.

IN ADDITION A LARGE WESTERLY SWELL...POSSIBLY APPROACHING 20
FT...WILL AFFECT THE COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT.

MCDONNAL/DTM

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FROM 345 PM PST DISCUSSION...FLOODING IS LIKELY
STARTING SOMETIME WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR THE SKOKOMISH RIVER IN MASON
COUNTY. FLOODING ON OTHER AREA RIVERS IS UNLIKELY.

A FAST-MOVING COLD FRONT WILL PASS WESTERN WASHINGTON ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...BRINGING A FEW HOURS OF
HEAVY RAIN...WITH SNOW LEVEL NEAR 7000 FEET. THE FAST MOVEMENT OF
THE COLD FRONT...AND THE RELATIVELY SHORT DURATION OF HEAVY
PRECIP...IS NOT USUALLY A FLOOD-PRODUCING WEATHER PATTERN.
HOWEVER...A QUICK 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS
WOULD LEAD TO FLOODING ON THE SKOKOMISH RIVER IN MASON COUNTY. AS
A RESULT...A FLOOD WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR MASON COUNTY.

OVER THE NORTH CASCADES NEAR MOUNT BAKER...2-3 INCHES OF RAIN
WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT RISES ON RIVERS IN WHATCOM AND SKAGIT
COUNTIES...BUT THE CHANCE OF RIVERS EXCEEDING FLOOD STAGE IS
SMALL...30 PERCENT OR LESS. IN OTHER WORDS...RIVER FLOODING
IS UNLIKELY. ELSEWHERE OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON...RIVER FLOODING
IS NOT EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS. HANER

&&

     FOR MASON COUNTY.
