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 Oct 4, 9:44 AM PDT, 5 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 4, 9:44 AM PDT, 5 hours 27 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
944 AM PDT Mon Oct 4 2021

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will move through Western Washington Tuesday
afternoon. An upper trough will shift over the area Wednesday. The
weather pattern will remain cool and unsettled into next weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...Forecast remains on track
this morning with no updates needed. Decreasing clouds this
morning for most, but another front approaches tomorrow with a
return of rain and breezy winds in the typically windy locations.
Previous short and long term discussions follow with updates to
marine and aviation.

An upper trough in the northeast Pacific will move over the
Pacific Northwest and weaken through the middle of the week. The
associated cold front will move through Western Washington Tuesday
afternoon. The 00z GFS shows a 1005mb low pressure center
crossing 130W this evening in the Oregon offshore waters and the
model takes that low down to about 1002mb near buoy 89 off Astoria
around daybreak Tuesday and into Western Washington as it fills
Tuesday afternoon or evening. If that low moves ashore similar to
that solution Western Washington might get some blustery weather
around Tuesday afternoon or evening. Another weaker low moves
ashore Wednesday afternoon with the upper trough, but that looks
unremarkable--the 00z GFS has that coming in to the south WA coast
late Wed afternoon with pretty modest pressure gradients that
become weak over Wrn WA Wed evening. Rain will spread through the
area on Tuesday with the front and turn to scattered showers with
the upper trough on Wed.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...The weather in the extended
period is likely to be cool and perhaps showery at times through
Saturday. The 00z GFS and ECMWF have a weakening splitty front that
doesn't really move ashore very convincingly on Friday but both
models show a wetter frontal system arriving Sunday. The CPC 6-10
day outlook continues to show that below normal temps with above
normal precip is a good bet out around next weekend and beyond.
Looking at temps aloft, the cool trough that weakens over the region
on Thursday has temps at 700mb around -9c and 850mb temps around 0c
and the westerlies over the mountains are weak Thu and Fri--so any
snow amounts are likely to be light and spotty at the higher
elevations next week. An upper trough that arrives late next weekend
has cooler air aloft and much better orographics. 19

&&

.AVIATION...Northerly winds will continue through much of the day
as surface high pressure remains in the area. A cold front and
its associated the low will approach the area late tonight/early
Wednesday. Winds are expected to switch starting after 1200 UTC at
the coast and then closer to 1500-1800 UTC inland. As the front
approaches clouds will move in and ceilings are expected to lower
to MVFR with some localized IFR and LIFR. Terminals such as KPWT,
KOLM and KHQM will likely see the lowest conditions. Rain will be
moving in later in the morning. Drops in visibility are expected.

KSEA...VFR conditions will remain in place through today, with
northerly winds persisting. Ceilings are expected to lower ahead of
an approaching front and persistent MVFR conditions by Tuesday
morning. As this front approaches winds will be switching around
to southerly, this switch will likely be around 1500 UTC. Rain will
likely move into the terminal between 15 and 18 UTC tomorrow with
drops in visibility likely.

Butwin

&&

.MARINE...Combined seas will continue to ease throughout the
morning with wave heights between 5 and 7 feet expected by this
afternoon. An incoming frontal system will approach tonight and
move through the area through Tuesday. We expect this frontal
passage will produce small craft advisory level winds for most of
the Western Washington waters. Winds will ease by Tuesday night
but direction will be variable as a surface low moves through.
