.SYNOPSIS...An cold front will move slowly across Western
Washington late today and tonight, bringing periods of heavy rain,
heavy mountain snow, and windy conditions. An upper trough will
follow the front later Wednesday through Thursday night, bringing
showery weather. Friday and possibly Saturday could be relatively
dry, but a transition to a wet and warmer pattern is likely
during the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Of most immediate concern has been the abundance of
rotating, supercell structure thunderstorms moving onto the
Central Coast. The contributing shortwave will pass by in the next
hour. Bulk shear drops a little bit for the mid-day period. By the
time bulk shear rises again later this afternoon, 850-700 mb
lapse rates will have flattened some, and the equilibrium level
will be lower. So potential for severe convection along the coast
should start to lower in an hour or two.

In the big picture, a deep cold-core upper low continues to spin
out around 50N 137W, directing active southwest flow aloft into
Western Washington. This evening, a cold front will slowly
approach the coast, providing the focus and lift for a band of
heavy rain to slowly move across the Olympic Peninsula this
evening, then across the Puget Sound Region during the late
evening and overnight hours. S-SW 850 mb winds of 60-75 knots this
evening will really enhance rainfall rates along windward
mountains slopes. 12-hour rain amounts approaching 3 inches are
forecast over the windward Olympics tonight, with 24-hour amounts
of 5 inches or more. See Hydro section for river impacts.

As for wind, southeast gradients will surge this evening in
advance of the front, leading to a bump-up in wind speeds, most
notably for our southeast wind-prone locales such as the coast and
areas north of Everett. A fairly long-duration Wind Advisory is
in effect for these areas until late tonight to advise of forecast
wind gusts near 50 mph. This would be significant on any day, but
it should be noted that these speeds are less than what was
observed yesterday.

Snow levels will be falling from about 3500-4000 feet today to
2500-3000 feet tonight. Considering forecast precip amounts, heavy
snow is expected in the mountains. Snow should peak in the
Olympics and North Cascades late tonight, then peak over the
Central Cascades on Wed morning.

The front will slip southeast of the forecast area later
Wednesday, with abundant post-frontal showers continuing through
Thursday night, owing to instability and cold air aloft under the
upper low/trough, and owing to continued onshore flow.

.LONG TERM...From Previous Discussion: A dirty upper ridge will
progress across the Pacific Northwest Friday and Friday night,
with generally light precipitation. There is great uncertainty in
the forecast for Saturday through Monday. Models agree vaguely
that a warmer southwesterly fetch of moisture will develop along
the west side of the upper ridge, but differ hugely on when it
will reach Western Washington, how much rain it will bring, and
how quickly it will shift across the area. In addition, the ECMWF
is showing poor run-to-run consistency, while the GFS trend has
been to delay the arrival of the rain. If the GFS has the right
idea, then Saturday will be a mainly dry day; if the latest ECMWF
run has the right idea, then Saturday will be a real soaker. One
thing we can say with fairly high confidence is that when this
precipitation arrives, the snow level will be up around 4000 to
5000 feet. McDonnal

.AVIATION...A large upper level low and surface low centered
offshore will maintain strong and moist SW flow aloft over W WA
through 18Z Wednesday. An occluded front associated with the low
was just W of the WA coast at 17Z and will move very slowly inland
across W WA through tonight. The air mass is moist and unstable
over the coast and coastal waters and somewhat unstable over the
interior. The strong surface low will produce very windy
conditions throughout most of W WA through tonight.

CIGS ranged from MVFR to VFR across W WA this morning with the
lower CIGS mainly from western Puget Sound westward where showers
were more prevalent. The MVFR CIGS will become more widespread
over the interior as the showers spread east. Gusty surface winds
15 to 30 KT can be expected over much of the area.

KSEA...Showers were falling mainly to the W of KSEA at 17Z so CIGS
were still around BKN050. CIGS should lower at times to MVFR
around 3000 feet as showers come closer to the terminal. Surface
winds will remain south and should be in the 15g25kt range. Kam

&&

.MARINE...An occluded front just offshore will slowly approach
the coast through tonight then move inland Wednesday morning.
Gales are expected on the coast and north inland waters. The main
surface low will approach northern Vancouver Island Wednesday,
then move southeast over the WA coast by Thursday evening. A weak
ridge will cross the region on Friday. A strong front will slowly
approach the coast on Saturday. Kam

&&

.HYDROLOGY...Another enhancement of heavy rain is expected
tonight. 24-hour rainfall of 5 or more inches is expected over the
windward Olympics, and 2-3 inches over the North Cascades. This
will keep the Skokomish river above flood stage, and could
possibly boost it into the Moderate flood category tonight. Will
also be watching other rivers flowing off the Olympics such as the
Satsop and Dungeness. For the North Cascades, will be keeping an
eye on the Nooksack River.

Snow levels will fall on Wednesday morning, so that will lessen
the contribution of further runoff at that time.

Landslide indices are also creeping up and could become marginally
conducive for landslides during tonight's rain. Any particularly
intense burst of rainfall tonight could pose the first landslide
test of the rainy season. Haner
