What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Seattle, WA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Jun 21, 9:08 PM PDT, 5 hours 49 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 9:08 PM PDT, 5 hours 49 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
908 PM PDT Fri Jun 21 2019
.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will be over the region through
Saturday. A deep marine layer will push into Western Washington
Saturday night. An upper trough will move over the region next week
giving Western Washington clouds and a chance of showers.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...Temperatures were close to
normal today with highs generally in the mid 60s to lower 70s,
with 60s along the coast. Stratus did not burn off the coast and
will likely push into the interior overnight with onshore flow.
Otherwise, a quiet night on tap. The current forecast remains on
track. 33
Previous discussion...Saturday should be a similar day with areas
of morning clouds and some afternoon sun. The coast probably will
not see a lot of sunshine, but that has been true most days in
the onshore flow of late. A weak upper trough will move into the
area along with a deep marine layer Saturday night and Sunday.
850mb temps cool off, and Sunday will be a cool and perhaps drippy
day. There isn't much to be said for Monday--upper heights fall a
bit, but maybe the marine layer will break up a bit anyway as the
onshore flow doesn't look as strong.
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...Previous discussion...The
upper low center gets closer to Western Washington through
midweek, then lingers over the area. Mostly cloudy skies with a
chance of showers is a good default forecast and eventually
something could spin up enough to give the area some rain--a
little disturbance or vortmax (or several of those) might give
Western WA occasional bands of showers. The heaviest precip in the
GFS next week seems to be in the in the north part of the upper
low--in the southerly and then easterly flow around the the low:
That means Alberta and British Columbia probably have the best
chance for soaking rains. The precip over Western Washington
mostly looks hit and miss light shower activity at times.
&&
.AVIATION...Moderate northerly flow aloft tonight will become more
northwesterly Saturday as an upper ridge remains offshore. Onshore
flow will continue at the surface. The air mass is dry and stable
except for stratus on the coast and a cumulus field over much of the
lowlands. The Olympics, strait, and far northwest interior are
clear. Similar pattern is expected tonight and Saturday, with MVFR
stratus forming late tonight over most of the lowlands, then lifting
into a VFR cumulus field Saturday afternoon. Ceilings currently are
VFR except for some MVFR under the stratus on the coast. Stratus
will return by 12Z or so. CHB
KSEA...VFR conditions until MVFR stratus returns after 12Z
Saturday morning. Southerly winds 4-8 kt.
&&
.MARINE...High pressure offshore with lower pressure inland will
result in varying degrees of onshore flow through the middle of next
week. Small craft advisory strength west wind is likely each
afternoon and evening in the strait, with gales possible, especially
Saturday.
Winds will increase to west 20-30 kt this evening in the strait,
with advisories posted there and also in the outflow areas of
Admiralty Inlet and the northern inland waters. A stronger westerly
push Saturday afternoon and evening will possibly bring 25-35 kt
winds, and a gale watch is in effect then. Westerly pushes through
the strait will likely continue each afternoon and evening through
the middle of next week. CHB
&&
.HYDROLOGY...The daily hydrology discussion has ended until the
start of the next rainy season; it will only be updated as needed
until then.
&&
.SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WA...None.
PZ...Small Craft Advisory until 11 AM PDT Sunday for Coastal Waters
From Cape Flattery To James Island 10 To 60 Nm-Coastal
Waters From James Island To Point Grenville 10 To 60 Nm-
Coastal Waters From Point Grenville To Cape Shoalwater 10
