Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 214 PM PDT Thu Jun 6 2024

SYNOPSIS
Warming and dry conditions will continue through Saturday. High pressure will move east of the area beginning Sunday with occasional weak systems through next week allowing temperatures to gradual cool to around normal.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/
High pressure continues to build across the western U.S. resulting in increasing temperatures through Saturday. Little change to the forecast from 24 hours ago with HeatRisk solidly in the yellow/minor category except for a few very isolated areas of orange/moderate in the Cascade Foothills and perhaps some urban heat islands. The high pressure ridge axis shifts east on Sunday opening the door for weak waves to move into the region bringing some onshore flow, additional clouds, and perhaps some light shower activity to the mountains.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
The average pattern will remain fairly static through much of next week with the region sandwiched between a ridge over the intermountain west or central US and a trough over the eastern Pacific ejecting occasional waves across the region. This will result in temperatures trending back towards normal. The area will remain mostly dry though occasional light precipitation cannot be completely ruled out.

AVIATION
West-southwest flow aloft veering more west- northwesterly into early Friday as upper-level ridging amplifies upstream. Mostly clear skies (VFR) expected throughout the TAF period with high clouds streaming overhead at times. Can't rule out patchy fog developing in river valleys and near coastal areas into the overnight/early morning hours. Northerly winds throughout most TAF sites 5-10 kt with isolated higher gusts.

KSEA...VFR cigs with high clouds at times throughout the TAF period.
N/NW 5 to 10 kt this afternoon with a 20-30% chance for isolated gusts around 15 kt, continuing overnight into Friday also.

MARINE
1026 mb surface high is currently positioned over the offshore waters of BC with northerlies over the coastal waters. Winds are expected to remain below SCA threshold however, onshore flow will increase Saturday night into Sunday bringing westerly SCA winds through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Seas below 10 ft, between 5 to 8 ft through Saturday. Seas will then build Saturday night into Sunday, with seas potentially approaching 10 feet for the outer Coastal Waters Saturday night into Sunday and possibly again around midweek.
