AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
914 AM PST TUE JAN 5 2016

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LOW OFFSHORE WILL BRING A LITTLE RAIN TODAY
AND TONIGHT. DRIER WEATHER IS IN STORE WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS AN UPPER RIDGE MOVES IN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...LOW PRES OVER THE NE PAC WILL SPIN TWO WAVES OVER
WESTERN WA FOR A LITTLE RAIN. THE FIRST WAVE IS LIFTING NORTH
THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING AND THE SECOND WAVE WILL MOVE INLAND
TONIGHT...MAINLY AFFECTING THE COAST. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR 40 TODAY.
MODELS SHOW A LITTLE DRYING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE SECOND WAVE
LIFTS FARTHER NORTH INTO B.C. IT WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER WITH TEMPS
RISING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S. LOW PRES WILL SHIFT INTO NORTHERN
CA AS WE MOVE INTO THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE
FOR CLOUDY SKIES BUT STILL LOOKING MAINLY DRY. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL THEN START TO BUILD OVER THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY
FOR MORE STABLE WEATHER. 33

.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...A SPLIT FLOW PATTERN WILL PREVAIL
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH AN UPPER RIDGE KEEPING THE AREA MAINLY
DRY THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE ECMWF BRINGS A SPLITTING SYSTEM THROUGH
THE RIDGE INTO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND FOR A LITTLE RAIN. OTHER
MODELS ARE DRY AND THE ECMWF SOLUTION SEEMS LIKE AN OUTLIER FOR NOW.
SCHNEIDER

&&

.AVIATION...MOIST SOUTH FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL OVER W WA THROUGH
TONIGHT AS A PAIR OF UPPER LEVEL LOW AFFECT THE AREA. AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW OVER SOUTHWEST BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTH TODAY. A
SECOND LOW W OF THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST ALONG 130W WILL MOVE SLOWLY
N TODAY THEN NW TONIGHT. THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE LOWS WILL
MAINTAIN MOIST S FLOW ALOFT OVER W WA WITH PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN.
CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY BE A MIX OF IFR...MVFR AND LOW END VFR
CONDITIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SW INTERIOR AND GREATER PUGET SOUND
REGIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE LOWER CONDITIONS.

KSEA...MOIST S FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN WILL
KEEP THE AIR MASS MOIST. EXPECT CIGS TO VARY CONSIDERABLY...VFR BKN-
OVC045 AT TIMES WITH A LOWER IFR LAYER FROM BKN002 TO BKN010 SHOWING
UP AT TIMES. VISIBILITY MAY VARY FROM 3SM -RA BR TO 6 SM. SURFACE
WINDS WILL REMAIN N-NE 5-8 KT...BUT IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
THAT WINDS COULD POP UP TO AROUND 10 KT FOR BRIEF PERIODS. KAM

&&

.MARINE...A SURFACE RIDGE OVER B.C. COMBINED WITH LOWER PRESSURE
OFFSHORE WILL MAINTAIN MAINLY MODERATE EASTERLY OFFSHORE FLOW THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

A SURFACE LOW WILL REMAIN OFF THE OREGON COAST IN THE VICINITY OF
130W THROUGH THURSDAY. A COUPLE OF SURFACE TROUGHS ROTATING AROUND
THE LOW WILL MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE WA OFFSHORE WATERS TODAY
AND AGAIN TONIGHT. THE TROUGH PASSING BY TODAY WILL TIGHTEN THE
EASTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT ENOUGH FOR SCA WINDS OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AND THE STRAIT. RECENT MODELS HAVE TRENDED STRONGER WITH THE
SECOND TROUGH TONIGHT. BASED ON THE ARW-WEST AND THE CANADIAN
LAM...A GALE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE COAST TONIGHT...AND A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE EAST ENTRANCE TO THE
STRAIT. THE OFFSHORE SURFACE LOW WILL BEGIN WEAKENING WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH MUCH WEAKER OFFSHORE FLOW THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
A 12 FOOT 18 SECOND WESTERLY SWELL TRAIN WILL REACH THE COASTAL
WATERS TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. KAM

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...NONE.

PZ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY COAST UNTIL 6 PM TODAY.
