Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 754 PM PDT Fri Jul 3 2020

UPDATE. No major forecast changes have been made as everything appears to be on track. An updated aviation and marine discussion can be found below.

SYNOPSIS. Upper level trough over the area through tonight will shift east Saturday. Another upper level trough will move over western Washington Monday. Cool unsettled weather will continue through the middle of the week.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/. Shower activity continues to hug the northwest corner of the state this afternoon as an upper trough slowly shifts inland over southern British Columbia. Temperatures remain on the cool side across the region under abundant cloud cover and onshore flow. The upper trough will shift into the Canadian Rockies by Saturday afternoon with heights gradually rising over Western Washington. Cloud cover will hang on across most of the area through Saturday morning before breaking up over the interior by mid afternoon. Coastal areas, however, may stay on the grey side through much of the day. With some afternoon sun, high temperatures will recover somewhat but remain a little below normal . mid 60s to lower 70s. The flow aloft becomes more or less zonal on Sunday with little change in heights. Stratus coverage will likely be less extensive on Sunday morning leading to an earlier breakout and afternoon temperatures edging upward a notch or two. Any flirtations with summer will prove to be brief as the next in a series of upper trough digs southward along the B.C. coast on Monday. Most shower activity will likely be over higher terrain Monday afternoon, but cloud cover will increase and temperatures will be knocked down accordingly by a few degrees.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. Deterministic runs of the ECMWF and GFS begin to disagree on the details with respect to the progression with individual upper troughs early next week. But model ensembles from both agree that a mean upper trough position will remain over the Pacific Northwest through the week thus ensuring that any appearance of something that resembles summer will be fleeting at best. 27

AVIATION. Widespread light shower activity continuing across the northwestern portion of the state this afternoon and will diminish overnight. Current CIGS will largely remain in place through the day tomorrow, with brief sunbreaks possible through the afternoon and evening. Conditions will dry out somewhat for Saturday and Sunday allowing for morning CIGS to burn off by the afternoon hours. Onshore winds of 5 to 15 kt at TAF sites today, decreasing to under 10 kt tonight through Saturday. Flow aloft will transition from SW today to NW during the day Saturday.

KSEA . SCT-BKN CIGS of 3- 4kft will also persist this evening before falling to around 2-4kft overnight. Winds turning northwesterly from 3-5 knots tonight between 06-08Z. Westerly to southwesterly flow returning by midmorning Saturday. Drier conditions expected Saturday, with lower cloud decks burning off in the afternoon.

Kristell

MARINE. Mainly light and variable winds under 10 kt today through Saturday with a few areas seeing onshore winds in the 5-15 kt range. Onshore flow is likely to increase by Sunday afternoon, with Small Craft Advisory level winds possible in the Strait Sunday through early next week. Light showers and mostly cloudy conditions expected each morning, with sun breaking through Saturday and Sunday afternoons. -Wolcott-

HYDROLOGY. The daily hydrology discussion has ended until the start of the next rainy season; it will only be updated as needed until then.

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.
