Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
940 PM PST Wed Mar 8 2017

.SYNOPSIS...A cool and unsettled pattern will persist over the area
into the weekend. A temporary lull in showers for many locations
tonight and Thursday morning before returning by Thursday afternoon.
A stronger low pressure system will bring more substantial rain and
stronger winds Thursday night into Friday. Yet another storm with
lowland rain and mountain snow will move into the area over the
weekend. A few drier and near normal days are possible by early next
week with high pressure sliding in.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Current radar shows scattered shower activity over
portions of W WA this evening in mainly three areas: south of
Thurston county curving up to the north and bisecting both Pierce
and King counties, along the coast and bleeding into the central
Olympic peninsula and over the eastern strait spilling over into
Skagit and Whatcom counties. Precip amounts look fairly light and
with snow levels generally 2000 ft or greater...any snow will be
confined to the mountains. Please hold any applause until the end of
this discussion. While on the topic of snow...Winter Weather
Advisory continues over the Cascades and given the above
distribution of echoes...looks good to run its course.

Showers will continue to diminish during the overnight hours as a
weak surface ridge looks to pass by the area...allowing for at least
the northern two-thirds of the CWA to get a dry start to the day
Thursday. Low pressure out over the coastal waters will lift a warm
front over the area bringing rain to most locations in W WA Thursday
afternoon but more concerning is the cold front associated with this
system and as the system itself passes overhead Thu night and into
Friday. More substantial rains with greater precip amounts are
expected as the cold front passes Thu night...and while the rains
start to fizzle out the passing low will bring increased winds to
the area. Current forecast has wind gusts to 50 mph in the Seattle
Metro area and while incoming models are hinting at pressure
gradients being slightly looser as opposed to previous runs...models
have been fairly consistent from run to run. As such...would not
expect much change in forecast. As the low exits late Friday
morning...precip chances look to taper off as well with an upper
level ridge trying to nudge into the area. 00Z GFS has this ridge a
bit stronger than 12Z run...which would be awesome...as it keeps
conditions dry for the remainder of Friday and into Saturday morning.

Short version of this discussion...no foreseeable lowland snow
good...continued wet weather with winds Fri morning bad.  SMR

.LONG TERM...From previous discussion...A quick moving ridge of
surface high pressure is expected to follow in the wake of the
departing low pressure system late Friday and into early Saturday
morning. This would allow for a period of quieter weather conditions
through the overnight and much of the morning on Saturday. Another
low over the Pacific will gradually bring a return of rain from late
morning - mid afternoon from west to east. Snow levels should be
significantly higher at this time and temperatures will approach
normal, and may even top 50 degrees in spots. This will then usher a
return to a wetter pattern after just that brief break. Sunday
features more rain showers, however the good news being that
temperatures will warm as a fairly substantial mid level ridge noses
north along the west coast. Rising heights to 567dm by Sunday night
mean that Sunday has a good shot of the mid 50s especially farther
south, and this would likely be the first above normal day for high
temperatures since February 17. Increasing moisture on Monday will
cause heights to fall but temps should remain near or even slightly
above normal. The next system will follow in by Wednesday as our mid
level ridge builds, but shifts east. Johnson

&&

.AVIATION...Moderate to strong westerly flow aloft will continue
tonight and Thursday. Spotty light rain continues this evening from
a weak warm front crossing the area, but with IR imagery showing the
back edge of the front just offshore, the rain should taper off by
09Z. The lower air mass is still moist with MVFR CIGS just about
everywhere. Spotty IFR CIGS are also present over the SW interior
and around KPWT. MVFR CIGS are expected to continue over the SW
interior and greater Puget Sound region through roughly 17Z. Faster
improvement is expected over the NW interior with CIGS lifting to
VFR around 15Z.

Another warm front will spread light rain northward across W WA and
drag conditions back down to MVFR on Thursday. Rain may reach S
Puget Sound by 18Z and cover the NW interior by 00Z.

KSEA...MVFR CIGS will continue through tonight, possibly lifting
briefly to VFR BKN030-050 around 17Z. A return to MVFR CIGS is
likely after 21Z as a warm front spreads rain across the area.
Surface winds will be E-SE 5-10 KT. Kam

&&

.MARINE...Pressure gradients and winds will remain weak across W WA
tonight and Thursday morning as the weak surface low over the area
this evening moves E.

Models agree a deep low will form well off the coast Thursday and
move northeast Thursday night, crossing into Washington around Cape
Flattery and filling somewhat as it moves inland. Some details
differ between models, such as the strength of the resulting
pressure gradient over Washington when it peaks around 12Z Friday.
The GFS is strongest, with a KPDX-KBLI peak gradient of +12.2 MB,
while the NAM and Euro are more in the +10 MB range. The WRF, which
runs off the GFS, has strong wind over the Seattle area for a few
hours after 12Z Friday, but wind in the other models is less strong.
Anyway a gale watch is in effect over all waters, starting Thursday
afternoon on the coast and spreading inland later Thursday night.
The strongest wind may be post frontal in the strait on Friday.

Onshore flow will weaken on Friday as another surface ridge moves
over western Washington during the afternoon. More fronts will
probably reach the area on Saturday and again Sunday night. CHB/Kam

.HYDROLOGY...No river flooding is expected through the next 7
days.
