Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Seattle WA
729 PM PDT Mon Mar 9 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
A very active pattern is taking shape and will persist
throughout the week for western Washington. Periods of heavy
mountain snow, lowland rain, gusty winds and possible river
flooding are in the forecast.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Impressively zonal flow over the greater northeastern Pacific
will keep the door open for storms to move through western
Washington throughout the week. For the rest of today, expect
scattered showers throughout the lowlands, with continued
periods of snow in the Olympics and Cascades. Tonight into
Tuesday morning will likely be the coldest of the week, with
snow levels dropping practically to the surface overnight.
Anywhere that experiences shower activity during the peak of
this cold air is susceptible for some snow, but likely not
accumulating for non-mountainous regions.

The system arriving Wednesday will be rather strong, and feature
strong winds in the afternoon and into late Wednesday night. As
such, Blizzard Warnings have been posted for the Cascades and
Olympics for winds frequently gusting to around 40 to 45 mph as
well as visibility reductions down to a quarter of a mile. The
Cascade passes will be primarily impacted by these winds, but
the Olympics and routes to Hurricane Ridge will also be impacted
by blowing snow and strong winds. For travel conditions across
the passes, please refer to WSDOT for the latest.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A number of winter weather headlines will persist into the later
half of the week as additional rounds of heavy snow are expected
in the mountains. Wednesday through Friday morning storm total
snow amounts suggest 2-4 feet across Stevens and Snoqualmie
pass, but higher amounts at higher elevations are possible and
could reach up to 5 feet of new snow. This is welcome news for
the state of the snowpack and snow water equivalent values that
have been abysmally low thus far this winter. While not likely
to fully rebound conditions to a normal value, it is still of
benefit.

Atmospheric river activity will also lend itself to higher QPF
amounts in lowland locations, generally areas from Seattle
southward to the Chehalis Valley are forecast to receive the
most QPF at this time. These locations are also included in
Excessive Rainfall Outlooks from the Weather Prediction Center
in the midweek time frame as well. Winter storm watches persist
into the later half of the week and may be upgraded depending
on the forecast over the next several days.

Rain and periods of mountain snow look to continue into early
next week.

.AVIATION...
Westerly, zonal, flow aloft over western WA tonight and Tuesday. At
the surface, winds largely favoring a SWerly direction. Some obs
have already seen a transition to more light and variable, while for
all terminals it appears gusts have dropped off a little sooner than
expected and speeds are starting to ease. Disturbances aloft will
maintain scattered showers, especially along the coast. Most
terminals seeing VFR conditions however locations along the east
side of the Sound /SEA, BFI and PAE/ currently seeing MVFR
conditions as showers pass through. Will continue to evaluate for
06Z issuance, but expectation is for recovery to low-end VFR
conditions for these terminals tonight and overnight.  18/33

KSEA...Showers in the vicinity through around 06z tonight. S/SW
winds 10-15 kts this evening, although the chance for gusts seems to
have dropped off. Diminishing PSCZ should remain north of the
terminal, however some VCSH cannot be ruled out. Also in regards to
this feature, looks like northerly winds should not impact the
terminal, although the convergence may allow for speeds to diminish
a little ahead of schedule if the CZ sinks any further south. As
noted in main discussion, brief MVFR cigs this evening before
recovering to VFR tonight. Possible MVFR may appear briefly early
Tuesday morning, but confidence is low. Showers increase by 21z
Tuesday afternoon. 18/33

&&

.MARINE...
Onshore flow will ease tonight. Seas will remain
elevated through Wednesday. A strong Pacific frontal system
will impact the region on Wednesday with potential for gales
over the waters. A weaker system will stall over the region
Thursday and Friday. The flow will turn northerly on Saturday,
then offshore on Sunday as a warm front moves into southern B.C.
33

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Moderate to heavy rainfall over the Olympics will
force rises on the Skokomish River in Mason County with flooding
possible. The river will remain high through the end of the
week. Flooding is also possible on the Chehalis basin rivers
including the Chehalis, Newaukum River and Skookumchuck River
near Bucoda. Crests on these river will occur late in the week.
Several other rivers are forecast to reach Action Stage this
week but not flooding. An AR next week is primarily focused
north into B.C. but will need watching for any southern
tracks into WA.
