AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
918 PM PST WED JAN 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...A VIGOROUS COLD FRONT WILL BRING RAIN AND LOCALLY WINDY
CONDITIONS TO WESTERN WASHINGTON TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING AS IT
MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA. AN OCCLUDED FRONT WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN
AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY. MODERATE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
AND ONSHORE FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS OVER THE
LOWLANDS AND SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION SUNDAY
AND MONDAY FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM...A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM WAS JUST OFFSHORE THIS
EVENING. OBSERVATIONS SHOW MODERATE RAIN ALONG THE N COAST AND OVER
THE OLYMPICS WITH LIGHT RAIN OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE LOWLANDS.
SURFACE WINDS HAVE INCREASED AND THE WIND ADVISORIES FOR THE COAST
AND N INTERIOR ARE WORKING OUT JUST FINE. MODELS APPEAR TO BE ON
TRACK WITH THE FRONT NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE COAST UNTIL AROUND
12Z/4 AM THURSDAY MORNING...THEN FINALLY MOVE OVER THE CASCADES
AROUND 18Z/10 AM.

STRONG S-SE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS PRODUCING WINDY CONDITIONS ALONG THE
COAST AND OVER THE N INTERIOR. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR
TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE WIND GUSTS ARE SCOOTING ALONG IN THE ADVISORY
RANGE THEY WILL STILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED TO JUST IN CASE THEY
CREEP UP TO WARNING LEVELS.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL WORK OUT JUST FINE FOR HEAVY RAIN OVER THE
OLYMPICS AND N CASCADES TONIGHT...3-6 INCHES FOR THE OLYMPICS AND
TWO TO FOUR INCHES OVER THE N CASCADES. FLOOD WATCHES ARE UP FOR THE
N CASCADES COUNTIES AND FOR GRAYS HARBOR AND CLALLAM COUNTIES FOR
THE OLYMPICS.

CHANCE OF SHOWERS LOOKS GOOD FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON. SATELLITE
IMAGERY DOES NOT SHOW A LOT OF SHOWERS OFFSHORE AND IT DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE ALL THAT UNSTABLE.

STRONG WSW FLOW ALOFT OVER THE NE PACIFIC WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. IR IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM OUT NEAR 40N/150W
AT 03Z/7 PM. GFS AND ECMWF AGREE ON BRINGING THE OCCLUDED FRONT FROM
THIS SYSTEM ACROSS W WA ON FRIDAY. THE GFS BRINGS THE FRONT TO THE
COAST AROUND 18Z/10 AM THEN OVER THE CASCADES IN THE AFTERNOON. THE
ECMWF APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY FASTER. ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE
BEHIND THE OCCLUDED FRONT FRIDAY AFTERNOON...LEADING TO BREEZY TO
WINDY CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE LOWLANDS.

MODERATE W FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY BEHIND THE
OCCLUDED FRONT WITH A SOMEWHAT MORE UNSTABLE AIR MASS. THE FLOW HAS
A DECENT CHANCE OF BRINGING MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW TO THE
CASCADES AND POSSIBLY THE OLYMPICS. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE DOWN BELOW
PASS LEVELS. A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED TO ADDRESS THE
POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY SNOW. KAM

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM THE 357 PM AFD...A LARGE UPPER
TROUGH WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE WRN U.S. ON SUNDAY AND MON. FOR WRN
WA...WE WILL BE TOO FAR NORTH TO SEE ORGANIZED SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH
THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE COOL...MOIST AND SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE AIR MASS
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SHOWERY WEATHER. HOWEVER...ONSHORE FLOW
WILL HAVE WEAKENED BY SUNDAY...SO SNOW OVER THE MTNS WILL LIGHTEN
UP. SO SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE MARKED BY MILDLY UNSETTLED NW FLOW
ALOFT AND SNOW LEVELS HOVERING NEAR 1500 FEET.

UPPER HEIGHTS AND TEMPS ALOFT RISE ON TUE...SO SHOWER ACTIVITY
SHOULD DECREASE FURTHER. A TRANSIENT UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL PASS
WRN WA NEXT WED...FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO MOISTER SW FLOW ALOFT.
HANER

&&

.AVIATION...A STRONG FRONT WILL REACH THE COAST LATE TONIGHT...THEN
SLOWLY PUSH ACROSS INTERIOR WESTERN WASHINGTON THURSDAY MORNING.
STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...BECOMING MODERATE WESTERLY ALOFT BY
MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. SURFACE FLOW AT TERMINALS AROUND GREATER PUGET
SOUND WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY 12 KT OR LESS THROUGH
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS MAY RESULT IN LLWS AS S/SW FLOW OF 40-
40 KT DEVELOPS AT 2K FEET. WINDS WILL MIX AND PICK UP NEAR THE
SURFACE BY 10Z (2 AM) SO LLWS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN TAFS BEYOND
THAT TIME. THE AIR MASS WILL BE MOIST AND GENERALLY STABLE.

CIGS WILL VARY CONSIDERABLY ACROSS WRN WA TONIGHT. HEAVY RAIN WILL
DOMINATE THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. VFR CIGS AROUND 4-5K FT WILL DETERIORATE TO WIDESPREAD MVFR
CIGS WITH VIS 2-4SM AFTER MIDNIGHT. S/SE WINDS 20-30 KT W/ GUSTS 45
KT POSSIBLE NORTH OF EVERETT AND NEAR THE COAST.

KSEA...SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WIND 5-10 KT...RISING TO 8-14 KT GUSTING
22 KT BY MIDNIGHT. LLWS IS LIKELY AS WINDS AT 2000 FT INCREASE TO
40 TO 50 KT. CONDITIONS DETERIORATING FROM VFR TO MVFR LATER TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY MORNING IN HEAVIER RAIN. DTM

&&

.MARINE...A VIGOROUS FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH TIGHTENING SOUTHEAST
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL PRODUCE STRONG WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE WATERS
THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THE FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY STRONG
ONSHORE FLOW THURSDAY. S-SE WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ARE NEAR
STORM FORCE THIS EVENING AND A STORM WARM WARNING IS BEING ISSUED FOR
THE COASTAL WATERS ONLY TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL ALSO PRODUCE SOLID
GALES AT ENTRANCES TO THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA...ADMIRALTY
INLET...NORTHERN INLAND WATERS TONIGHT WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WINDS ELSEWHERE. GALE WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE
OF POST-FRONTAL WESTERLY GALES IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN STRAIT
THURSDAY...AND THE GALE WATCH THERE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A GALE
WARNING. DTM

A NEGATIVELY TILTED OCCLUDED FRONT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A STRONG SURFACE TROUGH ON
SATURDAY. THESE FEATURES COULD ALSO PRODUCE GALES...ESPECIALLY
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN STRAIT OF
JUAN DE FUCA ROUGHLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY. MODEL
TIMING AND OTHER DETAILS WITH THIS SYSTEM ARE STILL FAIRLY
UNCERTAIN THOUGH. ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD EASE ON SUNDAY.

A LARGE SWELL TRAIN OF 18 TO 22 FT WILL REACH THE COAST
TONIGHT...SUBSIDING SLIGHTLY TO 17 TO 20 FEET THURSDAY. A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTH AND CENTRAL COAST...
ESPECIALLY TO ADDRESS THE POSSIBLE BEACH EROSION AROUND THE OCEAN
SHORES NORTH JETTY. A SWELL TRAIN OF 20-25 FEET COULD ARRIVE LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY. DTM/MCDONNAL

&&

.HYDROLOGY...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 357 PM...AN INTENSE BURST OF
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING IN ADVANCE OF A
VIGOROUS COLD FRONT. FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3-6 INCHES OVER
THE OLYMPIC MTNS PRACTICALLY GUARANTEE A FLOOD...POSSIBLY A MAJOR
FLOOD...FOR THE SKOKOMISH RIVER. THE SATSOP RIVER IS NOT CURRENTLY
EXPECTED TO FLOOD...BUT WITH UP TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL ON THE SOUTH
SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS TONIGHT INTO EARLY THU...IT WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED.

OVER THE NORTH CASCADES...2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED. THIS
AMOUNT OF RAIN WOULD NOT NORMALLY CAUSE MUCH FLOODING CONCERN...BUT
THE UNIQUE ASPECT OF THIS EVENT WILL BE HOW QUICKLY THAT RAIN
OCCURS...IN A MATTER OF 6 HOURS OR SO. WITH THE RAIN BEING
CONCENTRATED IN A SHORT TIME...IT COULD CAUSE A FASTER RISE AND
HIGHER CREST THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED WITH THIS RAINFALL
AMOUNT SPREAD OVER 24 HOURS. WHILE FLOODING ON RIVERS IS FAR FROM
CERTAIN...THE EXPECTED RAINFALL INTENSITY HAS DRIVEN THE DECISION
TO ISSUE AND MAINTAIN A FLOOD WATCH FOR WHATCOM...SKAGIT...SNOHOMISH
AND GRAYS HARBOR COUNTIES. HAVE RECENTLY EXPANDED THE WATCH TO
INCLUDE CLALLAM COUNTY AS A PRECAUTION FOR THE BOGACHIEL RIVER.
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE OVER THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA LATE THIS
EVENING...THEN OVER THE NORTH CASCADES OVERNIGHT. WILL SEE THE
RIVER RESULTS DURING THE WEE HOURS ON THU MORNING.

OTHER RIVERS IN WESTERN WASHINGTON ARE NOT EXPECTED TO FLOOD WITH
THIS RAINFALL EVENT. A WELL-DEFINED BREAK IN THE RAIN ON THU
NIGHT WILL GIVE RIVERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEDE.

OUTSIDE OF THE FLOOD WATCH AREA...RIVERS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
FLOOD FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS. 		HANER
