Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
847 PM PDT Mon May 24 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Showers will linger into Tuesday across Western
Washington as an upper level trough moves across the region.
A weak upper level ridge will briefly provide drier and somewhat
warmer conditions on Wednesday. Wet weather returns Wednesday
night and Thursday with another frontal system. An upper level
ridge will bring drier conditions and a warming trend for the
upcoming holiday weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...A weak frontal system will
move onshore and dissipate as it does so later this afternoon.
Scattered showers will linger into the evening in its wake. There
isn't much of an onshore push behind it so there won't be much in
the way of convergence zone activity. The trailing upper trough
axis will move onshore late tonight then shift east of the
Cascades by late Tuesday afternoon. After a few showers in the
morning, much of the lowlands should begin to dry out by mid
afternoon with perhaps a few sun breaks. Temperatures will remain
on the cool side on Tuesday, but should nudge upward a few degrees
over today.

Weak upper ridging builds into the region Tuesday night into early
Wednesday. This should allow much of Western Washington to
briefly dry out, but the weak transitory nature of the ridge won't
allow for much in the way of clearing. Nonetheless, high
temperatures should warm a little closer to seasonal normals. The
next weather system will be on the doorstep by Wednesday evening
with another round of rain spreading inland from the coast. This
system looks to pack a little more of a punch than todays with a
decent shot of rain, breezy conditions, and cooler temperatures
for Thursday. Looking ahead to the long term forecast, we'll take
what we can get in the rain department this week.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...A few showers will linger
into Friday morning as an upper trough exits the region. Upper
ridging will be building into the area by later in the day. This
will be the precursor to a large scale pattern change from the
weekend into early next week as high amplitude upper level ridging
attempts to make inroads along the west coast. Temperatures are
expected to warm progressively from Saturday through Memorial
Day. More than three quarters of the model ensembles from both the
GFS and ECMWF suggest interior areas from Seattle southward will
be near or above 80 degrees on Memorial Day. 27

&&

.AVIATION...A few showers around into this evening with showers
tapering off tonight into early morning. VFR to MVFR for most sites
this evening with IFR along the coast. MVFR to IFR cigs late tonight
into Tuesday morning with precipitation late Tuesday morning through
the day mainly in the mountains with the upper trough moving through
the area. MVFR/IFR into the morning with VFR later in the day. Winds
light southerly through tonight into the morning.

KSEA...Mainly dry tonight with VFR this evening and MVFR tonight.
IFR possible Tuesday morning. Clouds will clear a bit later in the
day for VFR. Light southerly winds.

JD

&&

.MARINE...Winds mostly light tonight with areas of showers into
Tuesday. Increasing winds through the Strait of Juan de Fuca later
Tuesday into Tuesday night with SCA winds possible for the central
and eastern portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Winds will
increase over the coastal waters later on Wednesday as a stronger
front moves towards the coast. SCA winds likely for the coastal
waters Wednesday night with the front. SCA winds possible for areas
of the interior waters Wednesday night into Thursday with the
increasing south winds with the system. Flow will ease late week
into the weekend with high pressure moving into the NE Pacific.

JD

&&

.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...None.
