Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 301 PM PDT Fri Apr 26 2024

SYNOPSIS
A series of frontal systems will impact the region into early next week. A trend toward somewhat drier conditions and temperatures closer to normal is expected for the later half of next week.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
Scattered showers continue across Western Washington this afternoon as an upper trough axis shifts eastward across the area. Thanks to a few sun breaks, high temperatures will nudge upward slightly over yesterday. After a brief drying trend overnight, another front will spread additional precipitation across the region Saturday into Saturday night. Another system arrives on Sunday with a trailing upper trough moving onshore on Monday to keep conditions damp and cool.
Temperatures aloft cool enough on Monday to support at least a slight chance of thunderstorms. Snow levels will gradually come down over the weekend...with some light snowfall expected in the passes Sunday night into early Monday.


LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Another trough and associated front sweeps across the area on Tuesday. The latest suite of ensembles are beginning to hint at a modest warming and drying trend for the later half of next week with some weak upper ridging taking up residence offshore. There is still considerable uncertainty regarding its strength. And, accordingly, the 50th percentile NBM numbers retain chance PoPs and temperatures near normal Wednesday through Friday. A fair number of the GFS ensemble members suggest that Seattle could crack 70 degrees late next week while Euro members remain, as they often do, on the more conservative side. Either way, the distant portion of the extended forecast looks more promising if you're on team spring.
