What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning 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 gale warning went out at Jan 7, 10:07 AM PST, 4 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 10:07 AM PST, 4 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
1007 AM PST Sat Jan 7 2023
.SYNOPSIS...An active pattern will continue over the next 7 days
as a large scale trough remains the dominant feature just off the
West Coast. A frontal boundary will bring a broad area of light to
moderate rain to the area today, followed by another for Sunday
and Monday. After a break on Tuesday, a deeper trough over the
Pacific may bring heavier moisture into the area during the latter
half of the week. Temperatures to remain near or slightly above
normal over the next 7 days.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...Satellite imagery shows front
moving northward through the Willamette Valley this morning.
Doppler radar shows rain over most of Western Washington at 9
am/17z. Temperatures were in the mid 40s.
Frontal boundary will continue to move north moving through
Western Washington mid to late afternoon. Little in the way of
post frontal showers on the radar so once the front moves through
expect the precipitation to taper off pretty quickly.
Temperatures only warming up a couple of degrees from the current
readings with highs in the mid to upper 40s.
Another shortwave spinning out of the trough offshore will move
over the area from the southwest Sunday keeping rain in the
forecast. Yet another system following along the same path Monday.
Flow aloft beginning to consolidate Monday with this feature being
the strongest one in the short term but the jet will still be
aimed at Northern California which is where the heavier rain will
end up going.
Current forecast has the trends covered. No update this morning.
Felton
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...Previous discussion follows. Upper
level troughing will continue along the West Coast and into the
nearby Pacific on Tuesday. Current model guidance is currently
suggesting a weak split flow pattern developing through the day as
a closed low west of Haida Gwaii dampens into an open wave trough
and pulls into BC while the southern stream portion of the trough
remains open and moves into central California. A few showers
associated with the northern stream wave will be possible across W
WA on Tuesday, but it is likely this forecast may actually trend
drier and leave the area largely spared from precip for 24 hours.
The split flow pattern will then quickly become replaced by a
large, stronger area of low pressure over the Pacific. Given the
current projected placement and strength of this low, the axis of
deeper moisture may become more favorably oriented towards W WA to
at least make for more widespread, potentially heavier, precip
through the latter half of the week.
High temperatures through the long term period will generally
remain in the upper 40s to near 50 with lows in the lower 40s. For
the mountains, snow will be likely at times through Thursday
before snow levels possibly rise well above pass level around the
end of the week.

.AVIATION...Light rain continues to move over the terminals this
morning, though most ceilings remain VFR. Fog and stratus are
leading LIFR and IFR conditions at KOLM and KCLM, but this should
gradually improve by 21Z. Watching for continued offshore flow from
the east-northeast, gradually shifting east-southeast into tonight 5
to 10 knots. Winds will go variable at the more sheltered sites like
KOLM.
KSEA...VFR conditions as the light rain continues this morning. This
should mostly continue through the day with winds turning more east-
southeast by around 00Z. Drier conditions should arrive as rain
tapers off after this time as well before the next round of rain
moves in Sunday late morning. Winds turning more south-southeast
tonight ahead of the next occluded front and associated rains.
&&
.MARINE...No major changes this morning with the Small Craft
Advisory having ended for the Northern Inland Waters and East
Entrance region with gusts dropping below 21 knots. Can't rule out
occasional gusts to near 20 knots but they should remain sporadic
enough.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...An active weather pattern will bring a series of
frontal systems to W WA through next week. Most of the systems
currently do not appear overly wet, resulting in minimal concerns
for river flooding and/or burn scar debris flows. The exception to
the river flooding could be the Skokomish River in Mason County.
The river is within a half of foot of flood stage this morning
but in the process of cresting. The river will remain within a
foot of flood stage through Wednesday.
An atmospheric river event may materialize later next week as an
axis of heavier moisture potentially becomes more favorably
oriented towards W WA. This will be monitored over the next few
days for the potential for river flooding/burn scar debris flows.
