Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 814 AM PST Fri Dec 6 2019

UPDATE. Forecast still on track with warm front draped to the north of the region with negative tilt trough and associated cold front still offshore. Should see a decent shot of rain as front lifts northeast and dissipates over the area late tonight. Showers continue through much of Saturday. No forecast updates planned this morning. Aviation and marine discussions updated below. 27

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 244 AM PST Fri Dec 6 2019/

SYNOPSIS. A weak front will spread light rain across Western Washington this evening through Saturday morning. The low will move east of the area Saturday night. An upper level ridge will build offshore Sunday for dry weather through early Tuesday. The next system should slide through later on Tuesday.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/. Radar as of 2AM shows areas of light rain showers across portions of the northern Olympic Peninsula and North Interior as a warm front lifts through. Dry weather elsewhere with patchy low clouds and fog in spots. An area of low pressure well offshore will slide east through today. A weak front with this system will move onshore later today into tonight with light rain across Western Washington. The interior will stay generally dry through this afternoon as the rain moves onshore with showers overnight into Saturday morning. Snow levels with this system will be around 4500 feet, with at least a rain/snow mix and an inch or two possible at Stevens Pass. Showers will be in the area Saturday afternoon before diminishing Saturday night as the system moves east.

An upper level ridge will build offshore Sunday morning with drier weather expected along with areas of morning fog. Partly sunny skies expected by the afternoon. Temperatures into the weekend will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s across Western Washington. JD

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. The upper level ridge will build over the area on Monday. Areas of fog expected on Monday with the ridge with mostly sunny conditions by afternoon. The ridge will slide east on Tuesday as the next frontal system approaches. The first system will move through later Tuesday into Tuesday night although it may weaken as it does slide across the area. Guidance does show a more substantial system may move through by Thursday with ensembles suggesting a more active pattern later next week. JD

AVIATION. There are patches of low clouds and fog this morning-- Olympia to Chehalis for example, and also near the Olympics. The next frontal system will move over the area by evening with cigs thickening up and rain spreading into the area later today. The radars don't really show a lot of precip in the frontal band off the Oregon coast, but the air mass will moisten up with lowering cigs tonight through Saturday morning. It might be drizzly Saturday morning with low cigs and areas of fairly low vsby as the frontal band breaks up over the area. Southwest flow aloft.

KSEA . Conditions should deteriorate to MVFR this evening and tonight with approaching system. Light southeast wind.

MARINE. A frontal system will give southeasterly flow over the waters through this evening and then winds will become fairly light over the weekend as the low pressure area fills. The next front will approach the area on Tuesday with southeasterly flow again ahead of the front--that front looks similar without any kinds of a westerly push behind it as it fizzles out over the area.

HYDROLOGY. River flooding not expected in the next 7 days.

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.
