Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 221 AM PDT Mon Jun 17 2024

SYNOPSIS
Light shower activity will linger today as an upper level trough shifts eastward. High pressure aloft will gradually build through the week, allowing conditions to dry out and warm up. A pattern change is on track for the end of the week as a trough brings wetter and cooler conditions to western Washington.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Light shower and virga activity will continue to push southward throughout the day today as moisture wraps around an exiting trough to the east. Combined with onshore flow, cloudy skies will stick around today and limit temperatures to the low to mid 60s for most areas. Instability will be lacking, so thunderstorms are unlikely to form this afternoon. Shower activity will taper off over the Cascades through the evening and early morning hours as drier air moves inland.

High pressure will build into the region on Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing conditions to warm up and dry out. Clearing skies and a transition to more zonal flow aloft will allow temperatures to return to near-normal on Tuesday. Thermal troughing to the south and weak onshore flow will allow most inland lowland areas to reach the mid to upper 70s on Wednesday, while coastal areas peak a bit cooler near the 70 degree mark.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Warming will continue through the end of the week as low amplitude ridging continues to build across the region on Thursday and Friday. Most lowland areas apart from the coast will reach 80 degrees on Thursday, and temperatures are on track to peak on Friday. Temperatures Friday are slated to reach the mid 80s, roughly 10 to 15 degrees above normal. This may be the warmest day of the year so far for inland areas. However, the current forecast is still several degrees below daily records, and ensembles maintain a low (10% or less)
chance of reaching record temperatures. The latest HeatRisk shows a moderate risk of localized urban heat stress that may impact vulnerable populations for the Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia metro areas and will continue to be monitored.

Ensembles are in good agreement over a pattern change by the weekend, with cooler and wetter weather on tap. Temperatures are favored to return to near-normal by Sunday, with a return of cloudy skies and a chance (20% to 30%) of light precipitation for most areas.

AVIATION
Northerly flow aloft today as an upper level low continues eastward over the Rockies. Air mass remains moist and unstable enough to allow the chance for showers over portions of W WA again today, however the bulk of any activity will focus on the Cascade crest. Surface winds light and variable in the morning hours, becoming southerly by afternoon with speeds 5-10 kts.

VFR conditions in place over much of the area as of this writing, except for some scattered patches of MVFR along the coast. Inherited forecast has cigs dropping around 12Z to more widespread MVFR conditions with spots that favor lower cigs potentially getting down into IFR conditions. Conditions return to VFR by this afternoon and remain that way into tonight.

KSEA...A band of showers resultant of wrap around moisture from the exiting upper low may produce occasional rainfall at the terminal this morning with most activity wrapping up between 12-15Z. While showers may return during the afternoon, not enough confidence for TAF inclusion. As mentioned above, cigs dropping to MVFR around 12Z and remaining that way for much of the morning. VFR conditions expected to return by 20Z. Light and variable winds this morning becoming southerly 5-10 kts by noon today.

MARINE
High pressure over the NE Pacific will maintain onshore flow over western WA this week. Highest wind and waves will be through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Speeds this afternoon and evening look to exceed SCA criteria, so new headline will go out with morning forecast package.

Seas 6 to 8 ft this morning for the outer coastal waters while remainder of coastal zones remain at 4 to 6 feet. Outer waters will ease gradually this morning and afternoon, subsiding to 4 to 6 ft by this evening. Seas expected to remain there for much of the week.
