Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 932 PM PDT Fri Nov 1 2024
SYNOPSIS
Unsettled weather conditions will linger over the weekend with showers continuing. A stronger frontal system will arrive on Monday for more rain, widespread breezy to locally windy conditions, mountain snow and high surf conditions. Slightly drier weather is possible by midweek.
Previous discussion follows with updated aviation, marine and hydrology sections.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/
The most contiguous part of the precipitation has moved into the Cascades, with showery and mostly cloudy conditions throughout the rest of Puget Sound.
Showers have become more isolated along the coast, with small pockets of embedded heavy rain in them. Some additional light snowfall is possible in the mountains this evening, but have opted to let the present winter weather headlines expire this evening and later tonight.
Expect some isolated showers on Saturday, becoming a little more widespread throughout Puget Sound after noon. Showers will show more evidence of tapering off late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, but conditions will remain cloudy and cool.
Showers on Sunday will be more isolated. Highs over the weekend aren't expected to exceed the low 50s with overnight lows in the low to mid 40s.
Changes are still expected on Monday as a stronger weather system arrives and brings more widespread precipitation back to the area.
Storm total QPF through Monday night suggests another 1 to 2 inches of rain on the coast and north Cascades with a quarter to half inch expected in the lowlands. Some of this moisture will fall as snow in the Cascades as the snow levels look to be between 3500 and 4000 feet on Monday morning, but will be largely rising above pass levels by the afternoon. Winds are also expected to rise with this system. Southerly winds will be strongest along the Pacific coast, eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca, and across the northern interior waters and land areas of western Whatcom and Skagit counties. High surf will also come into play, more of which can be read about in the marine discussion below.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Upper level ridging will build in over the northeastern Pacific in the wake of Monday's active weather for a downturn in precipitation activity beginning on Tuesday. The ridge axis appears to amplify and positively lean over into the broader PNW region throughout the rest of the mid section of the week for more mild and drier conditions.
Temperatures will only see a modest reflection of the ridge, coming up one to two degrees into the mid 50s. By the end of the forecast period, a return to rainy conditions by next weekend is possible, but this is subject to change at this lead time.
Kristell
AVIATION
Upper level trough moving through Western Washington this evening. Another upper level trough approach the coast Saturday late afternoon and evening. Southwesterly flow aloft becoming northwesterly behind this evenings trough. A mixed bag of ceilings out there this evening with MVFR ceilings with the showers and pockets of VFR ceilings away from the showers. These conditions will continue until the shower activity decreases later Saturday morning. More widespread VFR ceilings Saturday afternoon before ceilings lower back down to MVFR Saturday evening with precipitation ahead of the next trough.
KSEA...VFr ceilings overnight lowering to MVFR around 12z. MVFR ceilings continuing through the morning hours improving back to VFR after 21z. Ceilings lowering again Saturday evening. Southerly winds 6 to 10 knots. Felton
MARINE
A weakening surface low will dissipate over the inland waters tonight. Buoy observations continue to show 8 to 9 foot seas throughout the coastal zones. Progressing into the first half of the weekend, rather benign marine weather is expected.
By early Sunday morning, seas will gradually increase to above 10 feet as a potent surface low gets closer to the coastal waters.
South-southwesterly winds look to increase rapidly over the coastal waters by early Monday morning, along with seas building upwards of 18 to 22 feet (with the highest seas being in the outer water zones). Headlines will likely be needed through the interior waters as well, but there is still some uncertainty regarding the strength and timing of these winds.
A surface high looks to return by the middle of next week, which could bring back benign marine conditions to the area waters.
Mazurkiewicz
HYDROLOGY
Steady rain has given way to showers this evening.
The Skokomish river near Potlatch in Mason county crested below flood stage this evening and the warning was cancelled. Although rainfall is expected to continue off and on through the weekend, amounts are not expected at such a rate to renew the flooding threat on the Skokomish and the river is forecast to continue to lower for the remainder of the weekend.
