Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
847 PM PDT Fri Oct 22 2021
.UPDATE...No significant updates to the forecast at this time.
Emphasis in the forecast continues to be for active weather over
the next week - especially the potentially significant storm
system expected Sunday into Monday with windy conditions,
widespread rain, high surf and a chance of thunderstorms for some
areas. Please see updates to the aviation and marine sections
below.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 412 PM PDT Fri Oct 22 2021/
.SYNOPSIS...Showers will continue today, before another weak
frontal system traverses western Washington on Saturday. A
stronger, more vigorous system will move across the region Sunday
into Monday, bringing windy conditions, additional widespread
rain, high surf, and the chance for thunderstorms. An active
weather pattern will persist through much of the next week as
additional systems are expected to move across the Pacific
Northwest.
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...Latest radar showing
showers continuing across much of western Washington this
afternoon in the wake of a system that progressed through the
region yesterday. Showers will taper tonight, however expect the
break in wet weather to remain brief as rain ahead of the next
system is expected to approach the coast late tonight.
Expect the system on Saturday to be more typical of our fall
frontal systems, bringing with it another round of rain and
breezy winds for the coast and for areas north of Everett. Expect
rain to move inland overnight into Saturday and to generally
become more confined to areas east of the Sound by late afternoon.
The strongest system of the series will impact the region Sunday
into Monday. This system will bring with it multiple weather
hazards including wind, rain, thunderstorms, high surf, and
mountain snow. While guidance is in consensus that the low
offshore will deepen, there remains uncertainty regarding its
track at this time. ECMWF ensembles have trended to tracking the
low more towards Vancouver Island, while the GEFS continues to
show more spread in its ensemble solutions- tracking the low
anywhere from Vancouver Island to the northern Oregon coast.
Overall, the magnitude of the potential impacts will remain
dependent upon the track of the low, so it will be important to
pay attention to how the forecast continues to shape up over the
next few days. The hazards and their associated impacts are
discussed below:
Winds: The biggest uncertainty in hazards continues to reside in
the winds- and the track of the system will continue to play a
vital role. Overall, this system will bring the potential for a
longer duration wind event, with easterly to southeasterly winds
expected to pick up across the region early Sunday morning. The
strongest winds associated with this system will be likely along
the coast, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and areas north of Everett.
High wind watches have been issued with the afternoon forecast
package, accordingly. Additionally, winds across the Cascade gaps
will increase early Sunday as well, with gusts 40-50 mph possible.
Current ensemble data suggests areas across the interior and
south of Everett could see wind gusts to 35-45 mph Sunday. As
mentioned, confidence in wind gusts remains low-so this will
continue to be monitored through the weekend as more consensus
develops amongst guidance.
Rain: Another round of widespread rain is expected with this
system from Sunday into Monday. Current rainfall totals from early
Sunday to late Monday look to remain between a quarter of an inch
to an inch for the interior lowlands, 1-3 inches along the coast
and Cascades, and 4-6 inches across the Olympic mountains. Overall,
expect the cumulative effect of the previous rains and this event
to cause sharp rises on area rivers. See hydrology section below
for more details.
Thunderstorms: There remains an increased threat of thunderstorms
across far western Washington on Sunday. Given ample warm air
advection at the surface and cooling aloft, conditions through the
day will become increasingly unstable. In addition, strong
vertical wind shear will aid in keeping any storms that do develop
alive. Greatest chance of thunder continues to be during the
afternoon and evening hours.
High Surf: With a large west swell building behind the front and
reaching the coast late Sunday and into Monday, there does remain
some concern for high surf along the ocean beaches. Along with
this possible concern, will also need to continue to monitor the
total water level guidance as a combination of tide and storm
surge may be sufficient to possibly create some minor tidal
overflow issues. However, this will remain very dependent on the
track and timing of the low development, so confidence in precise
details remains low for now.
Mountain Snow: Snow levels look to drop down between 4000-4500
feet by early Monday, possibly bringing very light accumulations
to higher passes (e.g. Stevens) overnight Sunday into Monday. No
major impacts are expected at the passes at this time, however
those with early morning pass travel will want to pay attention
to updates through the weekend. Snow levels expected to rise
again to near 5000 feet during the day Monday. Higher elevation
areas will see a few inches accumulate into Monday. 14
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...Overall, expect a wet and
unsettled weather pattern to continue through much of the extended
period, as both ensemble guidance and deterministic guidance
indicate upper level troughing remaining the dominant influence
across the region into early next week. Latest ensemble clusters
do continue to hint at a ridge amplifying across the West Coast
late in the week, however it does not look strong enough to
deflect additional systems away from Washington at this time. 14
&&
.AVIATION...Southwest flow continues with broad upper trough
over the northeast Pacific. An associated frontal system will move
through Western Washington on Saturday morning. VFR ceilings this
evening will deteriorate to MVFR overnight as rains spreads inland
ahead of the approaching front. MVFR conditions are likely to
persist into mid-afternoon then lift to mostly VFR Saturday evening
as post-frontal shower activity decreases.
KSEA...VFR continuing this evening then ceilings lowering to MVFR by
09Z-12Z as precipitation ahead of front arrives. MVFR conditions
likely to hang around through 21Z-23Z then improve to VFR by
Saturday evening. Surface winds S/SE 5 to 10 knots. 27
&&
.MARINE...A typical cold front will move through the area Saturday
morning. A 948mb storm will move over the near offshore waters
Sunday as the strong front moves through Western Washington. That
deep low pressure system over the offshore waters on Sunday is
expected to track toward northern Vancouver Island on Monday. There
is a small craft advisory up for today for the seas over the coastal
waters but the higher surf wont arrive til later Sunday through
Monday after the storm moves through the near offshore waters. 19
&&
.HYDROLOGY...A fairly active weather pattern across western
Washington for much of the forecast period will lead to increased
flow in area rivers. Rivers, particularly the Skokomish, will need
to continue to be closely monitored. While the amount of rainfall is
not completely out of the ordinary for this area, the rivers have
little time between systems to recover. So as a result, instead of
rising and falling between rain events, most river levels increase
in a step like fashion. The cumulative affect of all this rain could
result in flooding by next week.
The strongest of a series of storms is forecast for Monday into
Tuesday. With 6 to 8 inches of rain over the Olympics in the
forecast and a snow level of 5000 to 6000 feet, flooding is
possible or likely on the Skokomish River. While river flooding
is not currently forecast for other area rivers, it cannot be
ruled out due to the cumulative rainfall expected throughout the
next week. JBB/
