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 Feb 24, 8:59 PM PST, 5 hours 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 8:59 PM PST, 5 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
859 PM PST Sat Feb 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The first of several weather systems arrives tonight
into Sunday with heavy mountain snow, lowland rain, and locally
windy conditions developing. Snow levels will drop below 1000 feet
behind the front Sunday night into Monday. Another strong front
arrives on Wednesday with cool and unsettled conditions to follow
through the end of the coming week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...No updates tonight with the
forecast remaining on track. Previous short/long term sections
follow.

Strong west to northwest flow aloft will limit the QPF around
much of central Puget Sound via some shadowing by the Olympics.
But that same strong westerly flow will be a prolific snow
producer in the Cascades with 850 millibar winds approaching 45
knots by Sunday afternoon. Strong post-frontal onshore flow will
produce breezy to windy conditions Sunday afternoon and early
evening. Strongest winds are expected along the north coast and in
the vicinity of the east entrance to the strait where gusts of
40-45 mph look likely.

Snow levels will fall sharply late Sunday night...to between 500
and 1000 feet. Strong westerly flow aloft will continue to pile up
the snow in the Cascades with storm totals of 1 to 3 feet
expected by Monday afternoon. The lowlands will see a mix of rain
and snow showers by early Monday morning, but onshore flow will
keep snow levels above sea level most areas. The exception will be
around some heavier showers and/or a convergence zone Sunday
night into early Monday which have a way of pulling the snow level
down lower than the ambient air mass. This could result in a quick
inch or two of accumulation around places like North Bend and will
bear some watching. Precip mostly comes to a short-lived end by
late Monday night and, with any clearing, temperatures will drop
to near or a little below freezing across a good swath of the
lowlands early Tuesday A.M.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...Another potent system is
expected to spread rain and mountain snow back across Western
Washington Tuesday night into early Wednesday. It will, at least
temporarily, introduce a somewhat milder air mass with snow levels
climbing back to 3000 to 3500 feet. Ensembles are fairly
confident that this will also be a wetter system. Mountain passes
stand to pick up another substantial helping of snowfall with more
potential travel impacts. Much like Monday and Tuesday, snow
levels are expected to fall sharply again late in the week as a
broad, cold upper trough settles over the Pacific Northwest. 27

&&

.AVIATION...A strong surface cold front continues to approach the
region from the northwest, and is on track to impact the region for
Sunday. Widespread precipitation is expected, mainly in the form of
stratiform rain for the lowlands, and snow in the mountains (above
1500 feet). The precipitation is expected to be stratiform in
nature, but some instability available may lead to convective
banding (including a Puget Sound convergence zone in Snohomish
County). Activity will scatter out Sunday evening into Monday.
Visibility reductions to MVFR/IFR are possible with the strongest
shower bands that develop and pass over terminals. Ceilings will
also come down to MVFR and remain MVFR through at least Sunday
afternoon (pockets of IFR/LIFR are possible over Puget Sound Waters
and areas west). Additionally, expect gusty winds to begin Sunday
morning as strong west flow aloft reaches the surface. Winds of 15
to 20 kt with gusts of 25 to 30 kt are expected for most of Sunday.
Expect surface southwest winds to become westerly (with some
northwest winds possible in north Puget Sound after 00Z Monday).

KSEA...MVFR ceilings through the TAF period. Some IFR early Sunday
morning cannot be ruled out. Rain will begin Sunday morning and may
become heavy at times in the afternoon. Possible convergence zone to
the north may enhance precipitation rates. This may drop
visibilities down to IFR at times. Expect winds to increase from 10
kt tonight to 15 kt out of the southwest by Sunday morning (gusts to
25-30 kt possible).

HPR

&&

.MARINE...Strong onshore flow via an approaching cold front from
B.C. Canada will bring strong winds across all waters during the day
Sunday. Small craft advisories continue for the coastal waters,
Puget Sound and Northern Inland Waters, and have expanded the
advisory to include the Admiralty Inlet. With the push being most
intense in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the gale watches have been
upgraded to gale warnings Sunday afternoon and evening.
Precipitation will be ongoing during the day Sunday. Heavier bands
of rain that form due to convective banding may limit outward
visibilities. Behind the front for Monday, winds may pick up to gale
criteria in the outer coastal waters (the watch in place will
continue).

Seas will increase to 8-12 feet late tonight then to 15-18 feet
Sunday night. Seas will gradually lower by Tuesday, hovering around
10 feet through the middle of the week.

HPR/Davis

&&

.HYDROLOGY...No river flooding is in the forecast over the next 7
days, but moderate to heavy precipitation will enter the region into
next week. This precipitation may contribute to river rises across
western Washington with the Skokomish River being the most
sensitive.
