Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 853 PM PDT Tue Apr 29 2025
UPDATE
Latest radar imagery shows the convergence zone over King and Snohomish Counties has dissipated and conditions should remain dry overnight. Otherwise, the inherited forecast remains on track. Please refer to an updated aviation section below.
SYNOPSIS
High pressure will build into the region through Thursday, bringing a return to drier and warmer weather. The next chance for showers will enter the region Friday, with unsettled conditions favored through the remainder of the weekend.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/
Light post-frontal convergence zone showers and patchy fog will persist through the afternoon over King and Snohomish Counties before activity tapers off this evening with dry and cloudy conditions elsewhere. Highs today across western Washington are on track to peak in the 50s and low 60s.
A high pressure ridge will continue to amplify into the Pacific Northwest into Wednesday, with dry and mostly sunny conditions returning once the morning low stratus layer burns off.
Temperatures will peak in the upper 50s along the coast and in the 60s further inland.
High pressure will continue to build over western Washington on Thursday, with steadily increasing temperatures and clear skies.
Highs will peak in the upper 60s along the coast, with temperatures in the upper 70s across the interior. Some areas along the Cascade foothills and valleys may reach the low 80s. The lowlands will be warm enough for widespread Minor (Yellow)
HeatRisk.
The upper ridge axis will shift eastward on Friday as a trough approaches the coast. Southerly flow aloft will keep warm temperatures in place east of the Puget Sound, with Minor HeatRisk continued for these areas. A frontal system and associated band of rainfall will approach the Pacific Coast by mid-afternoon Friday, spreading inland late Friday into Saturday morning. Forecast models continue to trend this system slower, and it may arrive closer to Saturday morning.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
The trough will split apart as it moves inland on Saturday, resulting in light rainfall amounts across western Washington. Split flow will develop over the region through the rest of the weekend, with lingering light shower activity possible. While operational models show a ridge developing overhead by the end of the weekend, ensembles maintain a chance of showers across the region into early next week.
15
AVIATION
Showers have largely faded in the remains of the PSCZ earlier this evening, with another deep marine push likely to bring MVFR conditions again tonight. Northerly winds continue through the interior, easing later tonight. High pressure begins to build across the area Wednesday with a much earlier improvement back to VFR conditions as clouds begin to scatter after 19z.
KSEA...Lingering mid level clouds this evening, but a return of MVFR conditions is expected after 09z through the morning push.
North/northeast surface winds ease overnight, but remain northerly through Tuesday.
MARINE
A trough went through the waters earlier this morning with a frontal system. The flow will become more onshore with west to northwest winds post-front. There is a strong push going through the central and east sections of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with gusts up to 27 kt observed at nearby Port Angeles. The small craft advisory continues in these areas through Wednesday morning. Weather will clear out as a ridge builds off the coast Wednesday into Friday, with a trough passing through next weekend. The threat for any hazardous winds is low at this time with this trough.
Seas currently are 6 to 7 feet at 9 with periods at 9 seconds - will drop to 4 to 5 feet Wednesday and Thursday, and increase to 6 to 8 feet next weekend with the trough moving through, decreasing back to 5 to 6 feet next week Monday.
