What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Sep 29, 8:35 PM PDT, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 29, 8:35 PM PDT, 4 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
835 PM PDT Wed Sep 29 2021

.UPDATE...Areas of rain moving onshore this evening will move
through tonight. Breezy winds tonight for the area, especially
for the north coast, and areas of Whatcom County, San Juan
Islands, and Admiralty Inlet for possible power outages. The front
will move through on Thursday for heavier rain, and drier weather
Friday into the weekend for the area.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal system will move through the area into
Thursday for rain and breezy winds. Drier weather Friday through
the weekend as an upper ridge builds into the area. An unsettled
weather pattern for next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...Southerly winds continue
to increase as a warm front tracks through the area. The windiest
locations will be the along the north coast, Western Whatcom, the
islands in the Salish Sea as well as the eastern portions of
Jefferson county. Winds will peak during the overnight and will
remain breezy but gradually ease throughout the day. Widespread
rain will move in late tonight and will continue through the first
half of Thursday. Rain will be heavy at times causing decreases
in visibility and could cause some localized ponding at times.
Rain will begin to ease during the afternoon, but scattered
showers will likely linger through the rest of the day. Once the
cold front moves through on Thursday an area of high pressure will
begin to move into the area. This high pressure will give Western
Washington a dry weekend. Expect high temperatures to be in the
60s for the bulk of the lowlands and 40s to 50s in the mountains.
For those seeking blue skies, the clearest skies are expected to
be on Friday.

Butwin

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...While high pressure will
still be over the area on Sunday a disturbance passing through BC
lead to increased cloudiness and give the northern portions of the
area a chance of some light rain showers. A weak frontal system is
expected to move through Monday and Tuesday and the pattern will
remain unsettled for mid week. At this time precipitation from
this system is expected to be fairly light and scattered.

Butwin

&&

.AVIATION...Westerly flow aloft will become southwesterly and
increase late tonight ahead of a vigorous frontal system. VFR
ceilings over much of W WA this evening with MVFR along the coast.
Cigs expected to lower to MVFR overnight as rain increases.
Widespread low MVFR or IFR ceilings in moderate to locally heavy
rain expected by daybreak Thursday with local surface visibility
reduced to 3-5SM. Very gusty S/SE surface winds can be expected
along coastal areas and the North Interior of Western Washington
this evening into Thursday morning.

KSEA...VFR ceilings expected through late this evening before the
next round of rain moves in. Ceilings will lower to MVFR overnight
as rain increases ahead of the approaching front. Ceilings could
lower to IFR in moderate rain for few hours mid to late morning
Thursday as the front pushes through the area. A period of low level
wind shear is possible between 06Z-12Z tonight as winds just above
the surface increase...near 40 knots at 2000 feet and 50 to 60 knots
at 5000 feet. Surface winds southerly wind 5 to 10 knots increasing
to 10-15 knots with gusts to 25 knots late tonight into Thursday
morning. 27/18

&&

.MARINE...A vigorous cold front will sweep across the waters late
tonight into Thursday. Gale force south to southeasterly winds are
expected with the front across the coastal waters, east entrance to
the strait, and adjacent waters. Small craft advisory winds are
expected for the remainder of area waters. Winds across Puget Sound
and Hood Canal will likely peak during the morning Thursday as the
cold front pushes inland. Inherited headlines look good and will
make no changes for the evening forecast update. A surface ridge
will rebuild across the area in the wake of the front Thursday night
and persist into the weekend.

A combination of swell and wind wave will produce hazardous seas
near or above 10 feet across the coastal waters before subsiding
below 10 feet Friday night into Saturday. 27/18
