Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 922 AM PST Tue Nov 5 2024
SYNOPSIS
Mountain snow showers will taper off early this morning. High pressure building today into Wednesday will allow for a period of dry and cooler conditions. A return to an active pattern is then expected beginning Friday through early next week with several systems moving through the area with additional rain, mountain snow, and wind.
UPDATE
Still monitoring post-frontal convergence zone showers and snow showers east of I-5 between I-90 and US-2. Some of the radar returns have been heavy enough to keep the inherited winter storm warning and advisory going through 10 am. Model guidance shows the showers dissipating shortly after the current expiration time. Otherwise remaining areas will see more clouds than sun and cooler temperatures today.
HPR
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
Satellite imagery early this morning shows cirrus moving in from the northwest over a building upper level ridge and behind a departing shortwave trough.
Satellite and radar imagery also shows continuing light rain/snow showers over the central Cascades due to strong moist onshore flow.
Snow has largely ended through the North Cascades, thus will cancel the Winter Storm Warning this morning. Elsewhere, snow showers will being to taper off later this morning, as will the Winter Storm Warning north-central Cascades and the Winter Weather Advisory for the south-central Cascades. The upper level ridge and associated surface high pressure will build today and into Wednesday, allowing for a period of drier and cooler weather, with high temperatures in the low 50s and low temperatures in the low to mid 30s. A weak warm front offshore that skirts by to the northwest keeps low chances for light rain over the northwest coast, otherwise most of western Washington will see decreasing clouds and even some sunshine Wednesday and early Thursday. Increasing clouds on Thursday will signal the return of more unsettled weather going into late week.
Thursday will be a bit warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 50s and lows in the 40s as the low-level winds turn more offshore.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
The upper level ridge over the region breaks down, allowing for a series of upper-level troughs to move through the area. The exact evolution of the pattern is a bit uncertain as the deterministic model solutions vary greatly in terms of the strength, evolution, and timing of each system. In general, chances for rain persist through the long-term period. A weakening front looks to move through late Friday into Saturday, with a stronger system Sunday into Monday that will likely have better upper-level support. Snow levels will be high (above 6000 ft)
with the first system, lowering Saturday into Sunday, and the second system will bring another round of substantial mountain snow. Winds will also be breezy throughout this period. Temperatures look to be fairly static, with highs in the low 50s with lows in the 40s.
LH
AVIATION
Northwesterly flow aloft shifting more northerly as upper level ridging shifts eastward, even though the ridge axis remains off the coast. Light and variable surface winds in place for most terminals this morning although there are some exceptions. SEA has SE winds running 4-8 kts, PAE is a little bit ahead of the game with winds already shifted to the north with speeds akin to SEA and CLM is seeing westerlies running 8-12 kts. Most terminals, save for CLM and HQM, will turn northerly early this afternoon and remain there through tonight. CLM and HQM will remain westerly.
VFR conditions area-wide this morning and will remain that way for the majority of the TAF period. Models are starting to suggest some low clouds developing overnight, especially for locations prone to lower cigs...which may see conditions devolve to MVFR to IFR around 12Z Wednesday. Forecast issue of the day will be trying to determine whether or not this moist lower layer will extend further east to terminals along the east side of the Sound. At this time, models are leaning away from this prospect, but will continue to monitor.
KSEA...VFR conditions in place and will remain for most, if not all, the TAF period. That said, mid to high level clouds will be over the terminal throughout the day with amount/coverage varying from time to time. S/SE winds this morning 4-8 kts turning northerly this afternoon around 23Z with speeds remaining about the same.

MARINE
Small craft advisories remain in place across the coastal waters and west entrance today as seas remain hazardous and post-frontal westerlies gradually ease. Winds in the Strait still meeting low end SCA criteria at Race Rock and gusts at Smith Island, so they are trending in the right direction. Thus will allow headlines for Central and Eastern Strait to expire on time. Surface ridging over the coastal and offshore waters will shift inland tonight with light offshore flow developing. A warm front will brush the coastal waters later today into tonight. High pressure will remain over the waters Wednesday and Thursday. A weakening front will arrive on Friday before a stronger system sweeps across the waters Friday night into Saturday.
Double digit seas will gradually drop below 10 feet by tonight and remain there through much of the week ahead before building again this weekend as a series of frontal systems reach the waters. 27/18
HYDROLOGY
No river flooding is expected in the next 7 days.
The systems this weekend into early next week will need to be monitored with rises on area rivers forecast, though relatively lower snow levels should help limit the overall flood potential.
