...RED FLAG WARNING IS CANCELLED FOR VERY HOT, DRY, AND UNSTABLE 
CONDITIONS FOR FIRE WEATHER ZONES 658 AND 659...

The National Weather Service in Seattle has cancelled the Red
Flag Warning. 

Temperatures were lower and humidities higher than yesterday due
to light onshore flow. Dense smoke also kept temperatures down in
Whatcom and Skagit counties. Although the midlevel Haines Index was
in the moderate or high range in zone 658, weather conditions 
were not favorable for contributing to active fire growth. 

The air mass was more stable over zone 659 than yesterday, with 
the midlevel Haines Index expected to remain in the low to 
moderate range. Lower temperatures and higher humidity along with
a stable air mass has prevented critical fire weather conditions
from being met.

Although the Red Flag Warning has been cancelled, fire weather 
conditions will remain elevated due to a persistent pattern of 
below normal rainfall with above normal temperatures.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
300 PM PDT Mon Jul 31 2017

.SYNOPSIS...A strong upper ridge will build northward off the
Pacific Northwest coast this week. This will induce low level
offshore flow and bring several days of unusually hot weather to
Western Washington. Widespread record highs are likely Wednesday
and Thursday. The ridge will slowly weaken on Friday and move
inland slowly over the weekend for a gradual cooling trend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...An upper ridge will build off the coast the next
few days. At the same time, the air aloft will warm, rising to a
remarkable +25C or so by Thursday. The low level flow never turns
easterly or strongly offshore however. Instead, the low level
flow will be northerly each day which will temper the warming ever
so slightly. Still, highs will warm over the next few days for
the beginning of an extended heat wave. Records are likely by
Wednesday. Thursday looks like the hottest day for most spots with
widespread 90s and as high as 104 for parts of the south interior.
An excessive heat warning is in effect for the interior from the
Everett area south. The mountains, north interior, and coast will
also be hot Wednesday and Thursday but not quite as hot and probably
more in the advisory category. Schneider

.LONG TERM...Friday will be the start of a slow cooling trend. The
upper ridge axis will remain offshore but upper heights will
begin to fall. Low level flow will also turn more westerly. The
coast should see 10-15 degrees of cooling but it will be another
hot day for the interior with highs only a few degrees cooler. The
upper ridge will slowly shift inland Saturday through Monday.
Emphasis on slowly. The ridge axis doesn't really shift east of
the area until Monday and there is never what one would call a
marine push day. Rather, low level onshore flow will gradually
increase each day. There will be a corresponding gradual cooling
trend with highs finally back to near normal by Monday. There will
also be a return to some night and morning clouds over the
weekend as onshore flow increases. Lastly, models hint at some
possible convection over the Cascades Sunday and Monday afternoon
as unstable southerly flow aloft increases. Schneider

&&

.AVIATION...Dry westerly flow aloft will continue this
afternoon and tonight before turning northwesterly Tuesday morning
as a strong upper ridge builds over the area. Moderate onshore
surface flow will continue to ease this afternoon and evening before
becoming northerly/offshore tonight. The air mass will remain stable
and dry as clear skies are expected to remain in place over the bulk
of W WA...although HQM may see some fog very early Tuesday morning.

KSEA...Clear skies persist for the entirety of the TAF period.
Northerly wind 8-12 kt. CHB/SMR

&&

.MARINE...Onshore flow will continue to ease this afternoon and
evening before becoming northerly/offshore overnight tonight.
A thermally induced trough of low pressure will develop along the
coast and remain in place through the week...allowing for this
northerly/offshore flow to persist.

Flow through the strait will be lighter the rest of this week.
Northwesterly small craft advisory winds will be possible at times
over the coastal waters, especially central and south portions.
Current forecast has a brief break in SCA winds for the south and
central inner coastal water zones before winds pick up again Tuesday
afternoon. Will allow current headline to run its course for these
zones and leave it to next shift to post next SCA. The outer coastal
water zones, however, keep SCA winds well into Tuesday night...and
as such have extended the current SCA in place there by another 24
hours. Wind is forecast to remain under 20 kt over the inland
waters. CHB/SMR

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...The combination of a strengthening upper level
ridge over the western U.S. and developing low level offshore flow
as a thermally induce surface trough noses north along the Oregon
coast promises hot dry conditions this week. This weather pattern
is developing critical fire weather conditions starting Tuesday
afternoon. Thursday looks to be the peak of this event with high
temperatures approaching all-time records.

This pattern will push temperatures up each day through Thursday
while relative humidities drop. Have changed the fire weather watch
in the Cascade fire weather zones - (658 and 659) to a Red Flag
Warning starting Tuesday afternoon. Have also issued a fire weather
watch for western interior fire zones 657, 654, and 655 starting
Wednesday afternoon as RHs drop to at least 20 percent and the
Haines Index climbs to 6 or high.

This is the pattern that will result in the overnight thermal belt
as well. Warm nighttime temperatures with poor RH recoveries are
anticipated in the Cascade foothills Tuesday night through Thursday
night.

The rest of Western Washington will also be hot and dry with fire
weather conditions approaching critical levels. Bottom line is this
weather pattern combined with the ongoing dry conditions since mid
June is ripe to produce wildfires in the area. All precautions
should be taken to avoid the potential for wildfires and all fire
units should be ready to respond in case of fire.

Late this week, the longer range guidance is now slower in breaking
down this weather pattern. Thursday may be the hottest day, but
Friday may be only a bit cooler with the coast seeing the greatest
relief. By the weekend, the  surface thermal trough should shift
east of the Cascades permitting some onshore flow for moderating
temperatures. Still no rain in sight though. Any threat of
convection this weekend likely to remain east of the Cascades as
weak southerly flow aloft develops but bears watching. Buehner
