Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
950 AM PDT Thu Oct 13 2016

.SYNOPSIS...Wet weather will continue and it will become windy
tonight as a strong low pressure system reaches the area. Friday
will be wet and windy as the low weakens over Vancouver Island.
There will be a lull in the weather Friday night and Saturday
morning. Another strong low pressure system will arrive Saturday
night.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Western Washington will have periods of wet and windy
weather through the weekend. This first deep low pressure system
will prune branches on the leaf trees as the wind kicks in overnight
and persists into Friday as the low fills over Vancouver Island.
There will be a break in the stormy weather Friday night and
Saturday morning. Then the next strong low pressure system will have
moisture from former typhoon Songda so that storm should be
stronger. The GFS has that low making landfall on the Washington
Coast Saturday evening and the GFS track is just right for a genuine
windstorm for the interior of Western Washington. It will be
interesting to see the 12z ecmwf solution.

.LONG TERM...Moist southwest flow will continue Sunday, with an
upper trough moving across the region Sunday night. It will be
showery and locally breezy, and the snow level will be around 5000
ft. Confidence in the particulars of the forecast for Monday
through Wednesday is rather low, as the models have not been very
consistent. Earlier solutions showed another strong frontal system
and its surface low affecting the area Tuesday, but this has faded
from the recent solutions. It looks also like an upper ridge will
begin building over the western United States by Wednesday.
McDonnal

&&

.AVIATION...A moist Pacific frontal system will bring rain to W WA
through Saturday and probably Sunday as well. The rain may seem
nearly continuous at times but there will be waves moving across W
WA from this complex system, which will produce lulls where the rain
may briefly end. Surface and low level winds will also be quite
strong and gusty at times as the individual waves move through. Peak
S-SE surface winds in some areas may reach 30-40G60KT over the next
three days. Otherwise ceiling and visibility conditions will be
predominantly IFR and MVFR.

KSEA...The moist Pacific frontal system will produce IFR/MVFR
conditions for the next few days along with periods of gusty winds.
Winds aloft around FL050 will be SW 40KT through 00Z then SSW 50-
60KT 00Z-06Z. Surface winds will be E-SE 5-12KT through 00Z then

.MARINE...Two big storms on the horizon. The first will arrive
later today or this evening in the form of a deepening 975 mb low
move north through the near-shore waters. Should get easterly gales
preceding the low for the western half of the Strait and parts of
the coastal waters. The big wind will follow the low center as it
moves northward this evening. Looking like storm-force winds over
the coastal waters. If the 12z NAM is correct, the forecast of 40-50
knots could be a little under-done. Seas will also kick up in the
wake of the low. Over the inland waters, looking for a surge of gale-
force southerlies following the low this evening. Winds will try to
ease a little overnight, but it will be a slow easing. Could take
until mid-day Friday for winds to ease below gale force over the
Inland Waters.

Next big storm coming late Saturday or Saturday night in the form of
a low that will peak in strength as a very deep 965'ish mb low off
the coast. Looks like it will move northeast either across the
northwest tip of Washington or on a track up Puget Sound. This
should be viewed as a potentially dangerous storm. Storm-force winds
seem likely over the coast and the North Interior waters. If the low
follows a worst-case track, then Puget Sound could get storm-force
winds as well. Haner

.HYDROLOGY... The first front is over the area andsince the rain
started yesterday evening there has been, on average,about 2.5" of
rain in the Olympics, and an average of about an inchin the
Cascades. The rivers that reach flood stage easily are theones to
watch inititally and there is a flood warning up for theSkokomish
river in Mason county. Rain will increase over the forecast area
today and continue tonight and the rain will be heavy at times. The
snow level will be high. A flood warning is already in effect for
the Skokomish River in Mason county and that river will almost
certainly flood by tonight. Some of the more flood-prone rivers
running off the west slopes of the Cascades are also at risk,
especially the Nooksack River in Whatcom County and the
Stillaguamish River in Snohomish County. A flood watch is in effect
for those two counties.

Another stronger storm will affect the region this weekend with
similar precipitation amounts. The snow level will probably be a
bit lower -- around 6000 ft or so. Even so, river flooding could
become more widespread and rainfall totals might be high enough to
cause isolated landslides.
