Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 825 PM PST Fri Mar 5 2021
SYNOPSIS. An upper trough will slide east across the area tonight. Another front will move through Sunday as an upper low slides south along the west coast. Drier weather Monday into next week as the bulk of the energy with the upper low slides into California. Light precipitation possible Thursday as a system approaches the area.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. Thunderstorm activity has waned this evening (as expected) with just scattered showers across the region. Expect lows around 40 tonight. No major changes from the previous forecast. 33
Previous discussion . The next round of steadier precipitation will move through Saturday night into Sunday morning as a front weakens over the area with an upper low located over the NE Pacific. The bulk of the energy with this system will slide south of the area Sunday into Monday with most precipitation tapering off by Sunday night. Sunday may feature the best chance for any convection, mainly along coastal areas, with a bit more instability located over these areas. Some moisture may be around into Monday, but most guidance highlights the coast and areas of the Olympic Peninsula for any rain through Monday. Temperatures will be a bit cooler over the weekend into early next week with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. Mainly dry weather Tuesday and Wednesday for the area, though some guidance suggests light precipitation may be around in spots Tuesday with the upper low south of the area. The next system looks to approach the area on Thursday, though there is some differences in guidance. ECMWF ensembles highlight a bit more ridging on Thursday compared to other guidance, which would keep for a drier forecast. Either way, some light precipitation may be around Thursday with perhaps the better chance for rain Friday into the weekend. Morning temperatures may be on the cooler side with lows in the mid to upper 30s through Wednesday, highs in the low to mid 50s through the week. JD
AVIATION. Isolated showers will linger overnight tonight and through Saturday. An isolated lightning strike/thunderstorm cannot be ruled out through midnight tonight. Ceilings will remain largely VFR through the TAF period, with the potential for a brief period of MVFR Saturday morning around or just after daybreak. Winds be remain out of the S generally 8-15kts, with some gusts near 20kts possible Saturday afternoon & evening (especially from KPAE to KBLI).
KSEA . VFR conditions largely expected, with a brief period for MVFR ceilings Saturday morning. Showers in the vicinity. Winds S 8- 15kts.

MARINE. Elevated winds and seas will continue across area waters into Saturday in the wake of a vigorous cold front - Small Craft Advisories remain in effect.
Meanwhile, offshore swells remain elevated, primarily between 10-13 feet for the nearshore waters and 13-19 feet across the offshore waters. Seas will gradually subside late tonight into Saturday, but are expected to remain above 10 feet, before another large swell train (18-21 feet) arrives in the region by Sunday afternoon.
Will see a brief break in the winds on Saturday, before another round of marine headlines with the next system moving into the region Saturday night into Sunday. 14
HYDROLOGY. Steady rain has become scattered showers with activity into Saturday. Although the Skokomish River continues to rise, the heaviest rainfall has ended, and other rivers in the basin have crested. The Flash Flood Watch has been ended for Mason County. Rainfall will continue periodically through the weekend, however river flooding is not expected. JD
