      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus66 ksew 171536 afdsew area forecast discussion national weather service seattle wa 836 am pdt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis Onshore flow through the weekend as a weak weather system passes mostly to the north of western washington. A ridge will strengthen early next week for warmer temperatures and more sun. A weak front is expected around the middle of next week with a chance for showers and cooler temperatures. Short term today through Monday Onshore flow with stratus across the majority of western washington this morning. A weak impulse will slide north of the area this afternoon into this evening with a few showers around in the north cascades and possibly some weak convergence north of seattle this evening into early tonight. Otherwise generally dry conditions with a few spots of sunshine in places especially this afternoon. High temperatures this afternoon will be in the mid 60s to mid 70s. Generally dry weather for Sunday with just a slight chance for showers across the northern tier of the area as another system passes by to the north. Morning clouds with a bit more clearing expected Sunday afternoon for some sunshine. Dry weather through Monday as upper level ridging builds into the area. Weak offshore flow by Monday afternoon with additional sunshine and warmer temperatures. Temperatures generally in the 70s Sunday and Monday across the area. Jd 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. Much like 24 hours ago... W wa socked in with clouds with mostly MVFR conditions in place... Although terminals from kpae northward have cigs intoVFR criteria. Expecting some improvement in the form of low level clouds at or below 2000 ft to scatter out after 20-22z this afternoon... But bkn-ovc conditions are expected to remain at or around 5000 ft for most locations. Thus... WhileVFR conditions will eventually emerge... Not expecting much of an opportunity to catch any peeks of blue sky. With the low level flow remaining light onshore low clouds will reform in the 1000-2000 foot range early Sunday morning bringing a return to widespread MVFR CIGS over the area. Ksea... Lower level clouds will scatter out around 20-22z with ceilings around 5000 feet for the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening hours. Ceilings lowering back down to near 1500 feet early Sunday morning. Winds southwesterly 4 to 8 knots. Felton smr 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. Models still in a bit of disagreement on whether this front will hold together or not though... So will take no action regarding any headlines for morning forecast package. Felton smr 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.
