SYNOPSIS
A return to cool and unsettled conditions will continue across the Pacific Northwest this weekend, with little change through early next week. A shift in the pattern is then expected for the second half of next week as high pressure aloft likely develops over the region. This will bring a return of drier and much warmer conditions to the region.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/
Latest NWS radar imagery reveals the steady precipitation has largely remained draped along and south of a roughly Port Angeles to Mount Rainier line early this morning. With the boundary making little significant progress, still expect the progression of any rain north of Seattle to be rather minimal through the morning today. Some light rain likely expands inland and a little more north, but the focus for the consistent precipitation will remain across the southwestern portions of the local area. In fact areas of Whatcom County near the border will likely remain mostly dry and also a bit on the warmer side. The upper level trough slides east of the region by early Sunday but remains close enough to continue to spread some showers across the local area. More significantly, the next cold upper trough induces stronger onshore flow as it approaches, which will increase the rain coverage across the region. With stronger orographic support, expect heavier rainfall up in the mountains (and snow in the higher Cascades above 4000 ft or so) but some shadowing to keep rainfall totals in the Seattle metro area notably lower. We stay locked in the active pattern with the upper trough crossing the region into Monday. As lapse rates steepen, will have the potential for some isolated thunderstorms and stronger onshore flow will likely bring a developing Puget Sound Convergence Zone.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
The start of the long term period likely remains unsettled and showery with the lingering upper trough still over the region. Strong support in the ensemble guidance for a pattern shift around midweek though, with high confidence in an upper ridge taking shape over or near the region.
While still some subtle variations among the various clusters of solutions, the general trend suggests this warmer and drier weather will be with us for the second half of the week. Have maintained temperatures in line with the NBM, with likely temperatures in the mid to upper 70s across much of the lowlands late in the week.
AVIATION
Frontal system moving over the southern portion of the area today. Upper level low associated with the front moving inland near the Oregon California border this evening. The low will slowly move east tonight and Sunday. Southeasterly flow aloft becoming easterly tonight and westerly Sunday. In the lower levels increasing onshore flow later this afternoon through tonight with onshore flow continuing Sunday.
Wide variety of ceilings across the area today. MVFR ceilings from about a Hoquiam to Tacoma line southward. VFR ceilings to the north. MVFR ceilings expanding northward later this afternoon and evening to around Everett. MVFR ceilings from Everett south continuing through Sunday morning with VFR ceilings over the Northwest Interior.
KSEA...Ceilings aoa 5000 feet into early afternoon. Ceilings lowering to 3500-4500 feet after 21z and to 2000-3000 feet after 00z. Variable wind 5 knots or less becoming southwest 4 to 8 knots after 00z. Felton
MARINE
A frontal system will move through the southern portion of the waters today. Another system will move across the waters Sunday night into Monday morning. High pressure will build back over the area Monday night and Tuesday with the ridge remaining in place Wednesday.
Small craft advisory westerlies in the Central and Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca tonight with the small craft winds continuing in the Central Strait into Sunday morning. Small craft advisory westerlies likely in the Central and Eastern Strait both Sunday and Monday night with small craft advisory northwesterly winds in Admiralty Inlet Monday night.
Seas building close to 10 feet Monday night into Tuesday. Felton
HYDROLOGY
No river flooding is expected over the next 7 days.
