Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
844 AM PST Tue Jan 3 2023

.UPDATE...A few rain showers this morning, mainly along the
Olympics as a weakening system moves across the area. Showers
will dissipate through early afternoon for mainly dry weather and
clouds this afternoon. Another round of light rain tonight.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening system will push through the area this
morning, bringing some light rain showers. Another system will
move through the area tonight with another stronger system
Wednesday night into Thursday. Additional weather systems Friday
over the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...Radar shows some showers
moving into the interior and across the Olympic Peninsula early
this morning. Overall, precipitation amounts have remained rather
light, with areas along the peninsula primarily reporting a couple
hundredths of an inch over the last 3 hours. Expect showers to
linger around the region through the morning today as the frontal
system continues to dissipate over the interior. Highs will be in
the mid to upper 40s for most spots.

Another weak, splitting frontal system will approach the coast
this afternoon and move inland tonight for another round of
precipitation. All in all, it looks like this front may hold
together a bit better than the current one, but still expect
precipitation amounts to remain rather light across the region.

A stronger front then looks to move through the region Wednesday
night into Thursday as a low offshore tracks northward towards the
British Columbia coast. Easterly gap winds will increase on
Wednesday and remain elevated through much of the day Thursday,
especially for areas along the Cascade foothills, with cross-
Cascade gradients around -10 mb. Gusts to 50 mph will be possible
at times Wednesday night into Thursday. This system will also
bring more favored chances for more widespread precipitation in
the near-term forecast, with rain spreading across the area from
south to north Wednesday night into Thursday. Snow levels will be
below the passes, however snow accumulations look to remain rather
light and below any headline criteria. Highs Wednesday will be in
the in the mid to upper 40s, while highs on Thursday will climb a
few degrees and top out in the low 50s.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...All in all, expect little
change in the long-term weather pattern with the jet still aimed
towards northern California. A series of systems looks to impact
the region through the period, bringing additional rounds of
precipitation to western Washington. Right now, it still looks as
if the system on Sunday has the potential to bring some breezy
winds to the region, but will see how guidance continues to trend
in the coming days. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 40s to
low 50s through the period and overnight lows will be in the upper
30s to low 40s. 14

&&

.AVIATION...Southwest to westerly flow aloft as a shortwave trough
camps out along the coast through tonight before this system pushes
through overnight, changing flow to the northwest. Mostly MVFR
conditions present over W WA this morning although some patches of
VFR conditions are present along the south Sound and the Strait.
Widespread VFR conditions to return by this afternoon. The
aforementioned shortwave will bring another period of light rain
tonight to some of the TAF sites, with most locations remaining VFR.
Terminals more prone to lower cigs however will dip down into MVFR
conditions overnight. Surface winds southerly today generally 5-
10kts except for 10-15kts near HQM.

KSEA...VFR conditions in place a little ahead of schedule as light
rain has moved away from the terminal. VFR conditions expected to
persist for the majority of the TAF period, with MVFR conditions
returning with the prospect of some light showers at or around 12Z
Wednesday morning. Winds S 6-10kts through the period.

Kovacik/18

&&

.MARINE...The remnants of a weakening frontal boundary will push
across the area this morning, bringing a short period of light rain
to the waters. Winds associated with this front are a bit weaker
than originally forecast, but may still reach marginal SCA level
criteria for most waters through the day today. In addition, expect
swells of 10-12 ft over the coastal water zones. Another weakening
frontal boundary will approach this evening, bringing similar
conditions, with a quick period of light rain into Wednesday morning
along with SCA level winds.

Main marine forecast concern of the week continues to be the rapidly
deepening cyclone well offshore the US West Coast Wednesday, with a
projected track towards WA as it weakens through the latter half of
the week. Offshore flow is still expected to noticeably increase,
with gales still appearing very likely over the coastal waters and
portions of the Strait, with SCAs likely elsewhere. Hazardous seas
will also accompany this storm, along with the potential for high
surf as swells increase towards 20ft. Will leave initial headlines
in place for the mid-morning forecast update and will consider the
prospect for additional headlines for incoming Wednesday system for
the afternoon forecast. Winds and swells may briefly subside into
the weekend before increasing again Saturday night and Sunday.

Kovacik/18

&&

.HYDROLOGY...Periods of rain are expected especially later this
week with rises on area rivers. No river flooding is expected for
the majority of rivers, with the Skokomish River potentially
nearing Minor flooding Friday. JD
