Fxus66 ksew 142259 afdsew area forecast discussion national weather service seattle wa 259 pm pst Fri dec 14 2018 Synopsis A frontal system will move through western washington later this afternoon and this evening. The low associated with the front will move inland well to the north of the area. High winds will be confined to the coast and portions of the northern interior. A little break between systems is expected on Saturday. The active weather pattern will resume Sunday with additional weather systems reaching the area through the middle of next week. The systems from Monday through Thursday of next week will likely bring locally heavy rainfall and windy conditions at times. Short term tonight through Monday Observations show the incoming strong frontal system moving through the coastal waters this afternoon. A brief period of strong winds was reported at hoquiam and buoys over the coastal waters are reporting strong winds at this time. The areal coverage of the strong winds is rather small, with occasional winds or gusts lasting for about 2 hours or so from onset to frontal passage. In the interior winds will suddenly increase from the S or ssw with the front and will last for a couple of hours behind the front. Pockets of high wind are expected near the water over portions of the northern interior, while the remainder of the interior from about everett southward sees winds 5-10 mph short of high wind criteria. A burst of westerly winds just shy of high wind criteria is expected to develop and last a couple of hours behind the front through the strait of juan de fuca. High wind warnings continue for the coastal zones, western whatcom county, the san juan islands, and the admiralty inlet area into early this evening while wind advisories are in effect for the remainder of the lowlands. Mountain wave wind conditions that produced some damage over the port angeles area has ended. The incoming front is not impressively wet and is progressive in nature. Expect shower activity behind the front this evening to come to an end late tonight or very early on Saturday. Behind the front, expect a break in the weather on Saturday with mostly cloudy conditions and only a small chance of showers in a few areas. The next frontal system will move slowly onshore across the area on Sunday. This system will be weakening and splitting as it moves inland, but it will produce some rain and locally windy conditions. Post frontal showers will linger Sunday night into early Monday with a possible, but difficult to time, break between systems Monday afternoon. Albrecht Long term Monday night through Friday A strong frontal system associated with a possible atmospheric river will affect the area starting Monday evening and continuing through Tuesday night. Models continue to show the strong potential for heavy rainfall amounts with this frontal system as the air mass originates from around hawaii and is moist and warm. The front will pass just south of the area Tuesday night or early Wednesday then will likely wave north. The front will likely then pass or move south of the area Thursday or Friday. Model details have become more sketchy and confidence in the details starting on Wednesday is not high. Blended models were used in todays extended forecast. Albrecht Aviation A strong storm system is beginning to affect the airfields this afternoon, with strong winds and widespread rain showers located in the vicinity of the system's frontal boundary. Currently, cold front is in the vicinity of the coastline with rain showers affecting hqm and the clm vicinity. This trend will push east thru the evening with the wind following closely.VFR cigs are likely to drop down to MVFR in the rain with some vsby reductions possible. Winds will be out of the south with gusts generally 20- 30kts. As the front clears the area tonight, winds will become more SW and relax somewhat. Should see a break for much of Saturday with CIGS expected to be largelyVFR. Ksea...VFR conditions to continue for most of this TAF cycle, although could drop down to MVFR in heavier rain showers with some slight reductions to vsbys. Winds are expected to become noticeably gustier from the south, with gusts to 30kts or so possible thru this evening. As winds at the sfc continue to increase, wind shear concerns will lessen. Rain will taper tonight as system exits with a break in store for Saturday. CIGS should remainVFR with winds continuing from the south generally 8-12kts without the gusts. Kovacik Marine Strong, amplified trough is arriving along the coastline this afternoon and will continue to push thru western washington this evening. Widespread rainfall and strong winds remain the primary hazards with this system wind observations this afternoon are indicative of gale force winds

across the coastal waters-with destruction is showing a few reports of 50kt+. Through this evening, sporadic winds to storm force remain possible but overall should remain largely gale. Elsewhere, headlines remain unchanged with wind speeds still increasing across interior waters and as the storm system moves inland, an uptick in winds to gale force is expected across just about all waters. Winds are expected to diminish fairly quickly after the system exits overnight, although there will likely be a quick, but very strong 40-45kt sustained westerly push down the strait where the gale warning will remain until 12z Saturday. Winds will likely drop to small craft sometime between 06z-12z in the strait but to avoid juggling multiple headlines have opted to keep gale thru 12z. Winds will relax for yet another brief period Saturday very early morning. The next weather system will be enroute through the day across the pacific so should see winds begin to increase in the morning and afternoon. The strait along with northern inland waters and admiralty inlet should see SCA winds around sunrise, along with the coastal waters, however, given winds will increase pretty quickly on Saturday back to near gale force, a gale watch has been placed offshore. Will need to watch wind speed trends across interior waters but at the moment, SCA should suffice. The region will continue to be impacted by a parade of pacific storms all the way through next week. Headlines of either SCA or gale will be likely, with the potential for some brief breaks in between systems. At this time, it is too difficult to be much more detailed than that. Kovacik Hydrology Flooding continues on the skokomish river in mason county. The river is forecast to recede to below flood stage Saturday morning. Extended models continue to show the potential for an atmospheric river aimed at western washington with the source region for the air mass from around hawaii in the middle of next week. Snow levels will be moderately high and rainfall amounts may be high; how high will depend a lot on how persistent the heavy rain is. There is the possibility that several rivers around the area could reach flood stage by the middle of next week. Albrecht jbb Sew watches warnings advisories Wa...
