Fxus66 ksew 171022 afdsew area forecast discussion national weather service seattle wa 322 am pdt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis Onshore flow will continue this weekend as a weak weather system passes mostly to the north of the region. The onshore flow will weaken early next week as ridging strengthens for warmer temperatures and more sun. A weak front is expected around the middle of next week for a chance of showers and somewhat cooler temperatures. Short term today through Monday Onshore flow continues this morning with several layers of clouds covering most of western washington. Upper ridging from earlier in the week has retrograded offshore as a weak weather system passes mostly to our north and east. Apart from stubborn cloud cover and slightly below normal temperatures, weak troughing over the region won't generate much weather for us. There may be a few pockets of morning drizzle near the coast and some weak convergence north of seattle this afternoon, but that's about it. The flow aloft will back from northwesterly to westerly on Sunday as another weather system passes mostly to our north. Much like today, the sensible weather conditions will be virtually the same with perhaps a little better chance of some late afternoon or evening clearing. Upper ridging builds over the area on Monday in response to a deepening trough offshore. The low level flow will turn weakly offshore by later in the day. This will spell earlier afternoon clearing and high temperatures closer to normal. Long term Tuesday through Friday Upper ridging continues to strengthen into Tuesday as an upper trough lifts northeastward well offshore. Light offshore flow will turn rather quickly onshore by later in the day, but not before much of the interior sees what will probably be the warmest day of the week with areas from about everett southward getting into the 80s. Whatever is left of a weak front will move onshore on Wednesday.

The 00z model runs have backed off with pops for the midweek front compared to their 12z predecessors. Given the model inconsistencies, not much was changed with the midweek forecast. For the rest of the extended period, zonal flow aloft and typical summertime low level onshore flow make climo temps and dry conditions a safe bet. 27 Aviation Weak low level onshore flow continuing through the weekend. Northwesterly flow aloft becoming westerly on Sunday. A couple of cloud layers over the area this morning. One a scattered to broken layer around 2500 feet and the other a broken to overcast layer in the 5000-6000 foot range. Lower layer will become more consolidated and lower down to 1500 to 2000 feet by 15z. The lower layer will scatter out 18z-20z with the higher layer remaining intact throughout the day. With the low level flow remaining light onshore lower layer reforming in the 1000-2000 foot range early Sunday morning. Ksea... Ceilings around 3000 feet lowering down to 1500-2000 feet by 15z. This layer will scatter out around 19z with ceilings around 5000 feet for most of the afternoon into the evening hours. Ceilings lowering back down to near 1500 feet early Sunday morning. Winds southwesterly 4 to 8 knots. Felton Marine Weak onshore flow will continue through the weekend. Surface flow becoming light Monday and Tuesday with a weakening front on Wednesday. Small craft advisory winds possible over the coastal waters as the front reaches the area. Hydrology The daily hydrology discussion has ended until the start of the next rainy season; it will only be updated as needed until then. Sew watches warnings advisories Wa... None. Pz... None.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
