SYNOPSIS
An upper level low will maintain showers over the region through Friday. High pressure will build across the Pacific Northwest this weekend into Monday, bringing warmer and drier conditions. A return to a cooler and wetter pattern looks to occur by the middle of next week.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/
A few lightning strikes noted along the coast as of 8 PM PDT, but overall thunderstorm activity expected to wind down overnight to just scattered showers. Upper trough continues to churn offshore and will contribute to more instability again tomorrow for increasing showers with daytime heating and the opportunity for additional isolated thunderstorms. Minor changes were made to the forecast this evening to remove "rain" wording from the forecast and keep everything as showers. Overall forecast trends look on track with drying trend on Friday as upper low pulls away from the region then dry and gradually warmer by the weekend under low amplitude upper ridging.
Previous discussion follows with updates to marine/aviation portions. 27
We're in post-frontal flow this afternoon with showers becoming more scattered across western WA. The air mass is still cool and and slightly unstable for a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, especially along the coast and Southwest Interior.
Expect overnight lows in the lower 40s with a few upper 30s possible.
A stacked low will continue to spin offshore on Thursday with moist/diffluent flow over western WA. This leads to additional showers across western WA with another thunderstorm threat along the coast. Heavier showers and possible thunderstorms are possible over the North Cascades as well. Snow levels will hover around 3500-4000 ft with a few inches of snow over the higher peaks and passes.
The offshore low starts to drift south on Friday while cutting off the moisture tap to our region. So overall a down tick in shower activity for western WA. Temperatures will be a little warmer and closer to average with highs in the mid to upper 50s.
Saturday is looking drier as the flow aloft becomes more northerly. We should see more sunshine with highs in the interior reaching the lower 60s. 33
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Dry and mild weather continues into early next week as high pressure moves in. Highs will track a few degrees warmer than average and in the lower to mid 60s. The coast will be cooler and in the 50s with NW winds.
Rain chances increase Tuesday and/or Wednesday as the next Pacific Frontal system tracks down from B.C. The snow levels will be lower by Wednesday with a few inches of snow in the Cascade passes. 33
AVIATION
Southwest flow aloft as troughing resides offshore.
Mostly VFR aside from localized MVFR-IFR under shower activity. Low- end VFR to high end MVFR is likely to persist tonight along with shower activity. Thunderstorm activity will continue to diminish with the loss of heating based instability. Locally lower ceilings and visibility will be impacted in the heaviest showers. Southeast winds late overnight between 6-12 kt for most terminals. Terminals such as KBLI and KHQM could see isolated gusts upwards of 20 kt.
KSEA...VFR at the terminal this evening, with much of the shower and thunderstorm activity diminishing and moving outside of 10nm from the airspace. Lower end showers possible overnight and reflected in the TAF, with minimal reductions to cigs and vis likely. Winds will be south to southeasterly overnight 5 to 7 knots.

MARINE
A sub 985mb surface low continues to churn offshore. Its associated fronts have made their way inland but headlines still remain. Small Craft Advisories continue through Thursday for parts of the strait, as well as Admiralty Inlet, coastal waters, and the Northern Inland Waters. An unstable airmass behind the front will promote scattered thunderstorm development into this evening, but activity is already waning as the evening progresses. As the aforementioned surface low tracks off and away by Friday, any remaining headlines should be allowed to expire as high pressure returns. Here we'll see benign conditions for the weekend and into the beginning of next week.
Seas 6 to 8 ft this evening before rising late tonight into Thursday to 13 to 16 ft. Seas will then relax below 10 ft Friday to around 5 to 7 ft for the weekend and early next week.
