Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus66 ksew 162220 afdsew area forecast discussion national weather service seattle wa 320 pm pdt Mon sep 16 2019 Synopsis Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will precede the next organized cold frontal system. The cold front will bring widespread rainfall to the area late tonight thru Tuesday afternoon. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible again Tuesday night and Wednesday. A brief break in the rainy weather is expected Thursday and again part of of Saturday before another cold front approaches. Short term tonight through Thursday An upper trough axis is pushing across western washington this afternoon, evidenced by looping the water vapor imagery. Associated with this upper trough are cool mid level temps in -20c to -22c and hence steep mid level lapse rates in the 6.5-7c km range. This environment is supportive of some weak instability that may allow for the development of a few thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening hours. Current mrms radar imagery shows shower activity increasing in coverage over the last several hours, with a few isolated lightning strikes across southern washington and east of the cascade crest. Any heavier convective cell has the potential to produce moderate downpours along with brief gusty winds and potentially some very small hail graupel. Activity should decrease in coverage overnight, but only to give way a deep trough digging quickly southeast down the bc coast. This trough will carry with it an organized and fairly strong cold frontal system with it. This cold front will bring another round of widespread rain to the area through much of the first half of Tuesday, with breezy winds too as winds in the 925-850 mb layer average between 25-40kts. Do not have any zones meeting wind advisory criteria at this time so winds will likely be most impactful across the waters (see marine section below). Rainfall total at the onset of this event and thru Tuesday night will be fairly similar to Sunday's rain event. Another round of scattered showers will follow the front late Tuesday into Wednesday and the upper trough axis progresses through the local area. As has been similar to today, cool mid level temps will likely yield and unstable environment and will likely support isolated thunderstorms. The area may then catch a brief break in active weather systems as a weak ridge moves in. Kovacik Long term Friday through Monday Despite the weak ridge in place going into the long term, there appears to be a subtle shortwave traverses thru its flow. The energy associated with this shortwave appears to be sufficient for the development of a few showers thru the day. This event will be nowhere near as widespread as the previous several systems, but could be enough to be a nuisance for outdoor plans. Guidance then suggests another semi-organized frontal system late Saturday into Sunday which |
could yield another widespread stratiform rain event. A ridge may then build into the region in the wake of this system for Monday, which may allow for a dry day. Kovacik Aviation Westerly flow aloft tonight will become southwesterly Tuesday as a front moves through the region. Scattered showers (and a possible thunderstorm or two) will taper this evening, then rain will develop on the coast by 12z and spread inland by 18z. At the surface, strong southeast flow will develop on the coast tonight and over the interior Tuesday. The air mass is moist and slightly unstable this afternoon. It will stabilize later this evening, then become slightly unstable Tuesday afternoon. Ceilings areVFR this afternoon, with occasional dips to MVFR in showers. After the showers end this evening, conditions should be vfr for several hours. Then after midnight or so the approaching front will lower ceilings to MVFR with ifr pockets in rain on Tuesday morning. Improvement toVFR is likely Tuesday afternoon. Ksea... MainlyVFR but perhaps brief MVFR in showers this evening and overnight. Becoming MVFR in rain Tuesday. Southerly wind 6-10 kt tonight, increasing to 10g20kt Tuesday afternoon. Chb Marine A strong weather system will bring gale force southerlies to the coastal waters beginning late tonight. These gale winds will spread to the east entrance and northern inland waters Tuesday morning, with small craft advisory strength winds elsewhere. Winds will ease Tuesday night, and remain light to moderate through the end of the week. Chb 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...

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. |
