Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
850 PM PDT Sun Jun 11 2017

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure aloft will nose onshore through
Monday before weakening Tuesday and Wednesday. Stronger low level
onshore flow Monday should bring a more persistent marine layer into
Western Washington before easing by Wednesday. A stronger Pacific
weather system is expected to arrive Thursday for the possibility of
significant rainfall for mid-June. Temperatures will remain below
normal through Thursday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...The upper level low was near the Sierras in California
this evening and continuing to drift further inland. But its
influence across Western Washington lingers.

The remaining air mass over the Cascades should have enough
instability for a few daytime heating spurred showers over the
Cascades Monday. Otherwise a positive tilted weak upper ridge
extending SW from Vancouver Island should nose onshore through
Monday.

In addition, falling surface pressures east of the Cascades
associated with the inland moving upper low east will enhance low
level onshore flow into Western Washington. The more persistent
marine layer should result in a slower afternoon breakout, cooler
high temperatures Monday than the near mid-June average temperatures
on Sunday, and the possibility of a weak Puget Sound Convergence
Zone Monday evening. The 00z progs in thus far again hint at this
possibility.

Low level onshore flow eases Tuesday, but there should still be
plenty of marine clouds. Prog time sections show tops of the marine
layer above 850 millibars - or at least 5000 feet. In addition, a
weak shortwave embedded in the more westerly flow aloft may offer a
few light showers as well.

Wednesday looks mainly dry at this point though another weak
shortwave slides by just to the northwest...ahead of a stronger
Pacific weather system due to arrive by Thursday. This one looks to
offer a more widespread dose of nature's irrigation. Buehner

.LONG TERM...From the previous edition...
The medium range solutions continued to advertise an occluded
front impacting the region on Thursday; therefore, PoPs were
bumped up into the categorical range for the mountains and coast.
It looks like rainfall amounts from this system could be
significant for mid-June. The coast, Olympic range, and Cascades
could pick up 1-2 inches of rain, with isolated three-inch amounts
possible on the Olympics.

Anticipate post-frontal showers on Friday. Heights/thicknesses
will slowly rise next weekend for a general drying and warming
trend. A weak disturbance embedded in the zonal flow aloft might
bring a few light showers to the area on Sunday but confidence of
this occurring was not high. Temps are forecast to climb to near
or slightly above normal next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...The air mass across Western WA is dry and stable
tonight as an upper low spins south of the area, over NV. The flow
aloft is E/NE. Low level clouds will likely form overnight along
the coast and may push into the interior early Monday morning for
brief MVFR ceilings. Low clouds should burn off by 18-21z for VFR
conditions. 33

KSEA...North winds will flip to S by 06-09z tonight. VFR
conditions through the evening then SCT-BKN015 low clouds forming
early Monday morning...12-15z. VFR conditions expected by the
afternoon. 33

&&

.MARINE...High pressure over the NE Pacific will maintain onshore
flow through Tuesday. The strongest onshore push is Monday
afternoon/evening with gales possible through the Strait of Juan
de Fuca - a Gale Watch is in effect. The surface ridge will shift
inland on Wednesday. The next frontal system will arrive on
Thursday. 33

&&

.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...None.
PZ...Gale Watch from Monday afternoon through late Monday night for
     Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca-East Entrance
     U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca.

     Small Craft Advisory until 5 AM PDT Monday for Central U.S.
     Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca-East Entrance U.S. Waters
     Strait Of Juan De Fuca.

     Small Craft Advisory until 11 PM PDT Monday for Coastal Waters
     From Cape Flattery To James Island 10 To 60 Nm-Coastal
