Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
251 PM PDT Tue Oct 5 2021

.SYNOPSIS...A system of fronts will continue to make their way
through the Western Washington area this afternoon and evening.
There remains a chance of thunderstorms mainly off shore this
afternoon and evening but moving inland later. A brief period of
quieter weather Thursday into Friday. Then a series of systems
moving in this weekend. With the strongest system expected Sunday
into Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...A surface low currently
situated just off shore will move inland tonight and will cause
winds to shift fairly quickly. Additionally, there are already
some pop up convective showers offshore associated this this low.
While none are currently producing lightning there is certainly
the potential. The potential for these showers and storms will
move move inland as the low moves onshore.
Some showers could could linger around Thursday morning but
overall conditions should be mostly dry throughout the region as
the axis of a trough extends southward. This troughy pattern will
keep cool temperatures around for the rest of the work week.
Highs are expected to be in the low to mid 50s with lows in the
40s for the lowlands. While Friday should remain mostly dry for
the Interior, a frontal system will be moving. This will increase
the chances of rain throughout the day.

Butwin

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...The system on Friday will
continue to make its way through the area Saturday with chance of
rain increasing as the next weather system approaches. This
second system will begin to move through Sunday and is expected to
bring widespread rain and dropping snow levels. During the early
morning hours of Sunday snow levels are expected to be above 6000
feet, but will drop throughout the day to around 3000 ft. Models
are in agreement that this could be the first system to bring snow
to the mountain passes this season. With temperatures staying
cold, especially in the mountains, road temperatures will be have
to be monitored carefully. Not only for the potential for snow
accumulation but for any freezing that may occur.

Butwin

&&

.AVIATION...A front is pushing east today across the region with
another low pressure system remaining just offshore. This will
maintain widespread showers, but expect mix of VFR to MVFR conditions
for most locations except under heavier showers. Air mass will
remain somewhat unstable near the coast overnight, though pockets of
lower clouds may develop across interior portions of the area. The
mountains and foothills will be obscured through much of the period.
Showers decrease through the day on Wednesday with lifting ceilings
expected.

KSEA...Mix of MVFR/VFR expected through evening, with steadier rain
pushing east of terminal and more widespread showers arriving from
the west at times. Breezy southerly surface winds continue this
evening, remaining southerly but easing a bit Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...Will allow the gale warnings to expire at 3 PM given
the passage of the strongest winds, though expect continued advisory
strength winds over most waters into the evening. Ongoing strong
showers will also provide for gusty and erratic winds at times
tonight, especially over the coastal waters.

Seas will hold at 8 to 10 feet and remain steep and wind-dominated
into the evening. Expect another round of showers and breezy winds
to continue on Wednesday, but quieter marine conditions are expected
into Thursday as weak high pressure moves across the waters. Another
strong front approaches over the weekend, for another round of
stronger winds and building seas.
