Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
851 AM PST Thu Dec 9 2021
.UPDATE /0900 AM/...While the general forecast has not changed
their are some important things to note this Thursday morning. The
first being that snow levels have dropped low enough that some of
the higher hills in the lowland areas are reporting snow. This
includes places like Lake Samish and the I-5 area through the
hills there.
While their remains the slight chance of some thunderstorms at the
coast and over the waters this morning we have yet to observe any
thus far. Any storms that do pop up will be very isolated and
short lived.
The forecast for the storm this weekend remains on track this
morning. There is still some uncertainty when it comes to the snow
level over the Olympics and for the Snoqualmie Pass area
southward. The warm sector could linger in these places long
enough that snow totals end up on the lower side. In addition,
conditions could be favorable for a wintery mix, including
freezing rain at the pass.
If you have any plans on going out this weekend, make sure to
stay up to date on the forecast as their could be some changes.
The previous forecast discussion with updated aviation and marine
sections is below.
Butwin
&&
.SYNOPSIS...Upper level trough moving through Western Washington
today. Strong frontal system moving into the area Friday night
into Saturday with windy conditions along the coast and over the
Northwest Interior plus heavy snow in the Cascades. Cool upper
level trough setting up off the coast Sunday and Monday keeping
unsettled weather over the area. Trough moving through Tuesday
with yet another system following the trough for the middle of
next week.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...Satellite imagery shows
mostly cloudy skies over Western Washington early this morning.
Doppler radar has a few showers over Skagit county ( convergence )
along with some scattered showers along the coast. Temperatures at
3am/11z were in the mid 30s to lower 40s.
Shower activity increasing later this morning as an upper level
trough moves into the area. Maximum instability along the coast
with 500 mb temperatures in the -30 to -35C range so will keep a
chance of thunderstorms in the forecast for the beaches. In the
lower levels weak convergence pattern remaining throughout the
day. Convergence zone will eventually shift into the Central
Cascades later today before weakening tonight. Have replaced the
Winter Storm Warning with an advisory and extended the advisory
into the evening hours. Trough axis moving east of the area later
this afternoon with shower activity in the lowlands decreasing.
Cool air over the area will keep highs only in the lower to mid
40s.
Very weak upper level ridge moving through the area tonight.
Northwesterly orographic flow will keep snow showers going in the
mountains with the snow levels remaining well below the passes.
Low level onshore flow will keep skies mostly cloudy which will
keep lows mostly in the mid 30s.
Huge upper level trough over the Eastern Pacific Friday. Warm
front spinning out of the low approaching Western Washington with
rain spreading over the area late afternoon into the evening
hours. Warm air advection ahead of the front will make the snow
level forecast tough for the Cascades. Models in good agreement
that 850 mb temperatures rising to around -1 or -2C by 12z
Saturday. Low level flow in the passes will be easterly which will
help trap some cold air in the passes. Current model solutions
putting the snow level right around 3000 feet for the Central
Cascades. For Stevens pass this will be straight snow. For
Snoqualmie pass precipitation starting out as snow then could
turn to an ugly wintery mix late Friday night into Saturday if the
snow level ends up a little higher. Back in the lower elevations,
even with the parent low of the warm front well up into the Gulf
of Alaska, model 850 mb winds associated with the front in the
40-55 knot range Friday night. If the trends continue look for a
high wind watch to be issued for at least the coast and possibly
the Northwest Interior Friday night.
Trailing cold front moving through Western Washington Saturday for
rain and windy conditions in the lowlands and heavy snow in the
mountains. Winter storm watch will be issued with this forecast
package beginning at 10 pm/06z Friday night and continuing until
10 pm/06z Saturday night for 18 to 30 inches of snow during this
time frame above 3000 feet in the Cascades. Snow amounts at
Snoqualmie pass a tough call at this point with the possibility of
the snow level getting above the pass for a time Friday night.
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...Very cold upper level
trough setting up over the Eastern Pacific Sunday and Monday with
additional systems ( weaker than the one Saturday ) spinning out
of the trough into the area. A little break in the action Tuesday
as the trough digs south and moves inland. The break will be
short lived with yet another system dropping out of the Gulf of
Alaska. Current model solutions have this system moving inland
south of the area Wednesday but not far enough south to keep
precipitation out of the forecast for Western Washington. Snow
levels will remain low, 1500 feet or lower, through the period.
Snow depths in the mountains will be significantly higher at this
time next week. Felton

.AVIATION...A weak upper trough over the area will move inland
tonight with westerly flow aloft today becoming northwest tonight.
At the surface, onshore flow will continue today and tonight with
high pressure offshore. The air mass will be slightly unstable
today then become stable tonight. There will be a mix of low and
mid clouds today and tonight.
KSEA...Mostly low clouds today and tonight although the lower
ceilings might scatter at times, especially this afternoon and
evening. Southerly winds 8-12 knots. 16
&&
.MARINE...Onshore flow will continue today and tonight with high
pressure offshore, bringing small craft advisory strength westerly
winds to the Coastal Waters. West swell 10-13 feet will also
continue over the Coastal Waters and West Entrance Strait of Juan
de Fuca.
A vigorous frontal system will move through the area Friday
night and Saturday. Winds will turn more southerly on Friday ahead
of the front then rise to gale force most waters Friday night and
Saturday. A brief period of storm force winds is not out of the
question for the Coastal Waters Friday night.
Winds will gradually ease on Sunday and then turn weakly offshore
on Monday. 16
&&
.HYDROLOGY...Heavy rain Friday night through Saturday, 2 to 4
inches, combined with the brief rise in the snow levels to around
4000 feet in the Olympics will likely drive the Skokomish River
above flood stage Saturday. With a lot of water still in the
river basin there could be moderate flooding on the river. Rivers
over Southwest Washington will also initially respond to the
heavy rain but lower snow levels over the Cascades will limit the
amount of the rises in these rivers. No additional river flooding
expected in the next 7 days. Felton
