Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 817 PM PDT Sat Jul 4 2020

UPDATE. No major forecast changes to be made this evening. See below for minor changes made to the aviation and marine discussion. Kristell

SYNOPSIS. Weaker onshore flow will produce a dry day on Sunday with near normal temperatures. A series of upper troughs will affect the area next week bringing below normal temperatures and shower chances at times.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/. An upper trough over the area will weaken slightly on Sunday with 500 mb heights rising slightly. There will be a corresponding modest easing in the low level onshore flow on Sunday. All of this adds up to a dry day with added sunshine after some morning low clouds. Highs should warm slightly to near normal.

Another upper trough will arrive on Monday. It looks mostly dry but low level onshore flow will start to increase which should give more clouds on Monday morning and a slower burnoff later in the day. There might be a few showers in the afternoon over the Cascades and maybe even an isolated thunderstorm over the North Cascades. Highs will be slightly cooler.

The region will remain under the influence of a broad upper trough on Tuesday with plenty of clouds and a good chance of showers. Highs will cool a few more degrees and be mostly in the 60s. Schneider

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. A long-wave upper trough will remain along the west coast with continued low level onshore flow for Western Washington. A couple of short wave upper troughs will swing through the area for an enhanced chance of showers, roughly Thursday and Saturday. Not surprisingly, there is some uncertainty with the strength and timing of these features this far out but the general idea is for cool and showery weather later in the week. Highs are expected to be slightly below normal each day. Schneider

AVIATION. Westerly-northwesterly flow aloft through tonight. VFR cigs with cumulus across much of the Puget Sound this evening with OVC deck along the coast and Southwest Interior. VFR into early tonight. VFR/MVFR late tonight into early Sunday morning with VFR for most of Sunday. South winds 4 to 8 knots this afternoon with light and variable winds tonight. JD

KSEA . VFR cigs. Variable to light northerly winds expected overnight. VFR cigs into tonight with MVFR possible early Sunday morning. VFR by late Sunday morning through the afternoon. South winds 4 to 8 knots with light, variable winds late tonight into early Sunday morning. JD/Kristell

MARINE. Westerly breeze through the Strait of Juan de Fuca this evening into tonight. Northerly winds this evening into tonight for the Puget Sound. Increasing onshore flow Sunday afternoon for Small Craft Advisory winds for the central and eastern portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. SCA winds at times for portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca with onshore flow into next week. JD/Kristell

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.
