Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 325 PM PDT Mon Aug 3 2020

SYNOPSIS. An upper level trough will exit Western Washington this evening allowing for skies to gradually clear tonight. Dry conditions Tuesday as upper level ridging builds over the area. While this will allow for some warming, continued onshore flow will keep temperatures seasonable. The next system arrives Wednesday night into Thursday.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/. Clouds generally trying to thin out over W WA this afternoon although clouds over the Olympics seem to be pretty stationary. Afternoon temps so far this afternoon generally on track with the interior generally ranging in the mid to upper 70s with some low 80s in the SW interior. Coastal temps cooler ranging in the mid to upper 60s. Neither radar nor obs showing any precip . but would not be surprised at a stray sprinkle or light shower in the mid to late afternoon.

Models remain consistent on showing this system the door by late afternoon/early evening today and dry conditions resuming overnight. A fairly flat upper level ridge will start to work into the area overnight tonight but will amplify throughout the day Tuesday even though it moves slowly to the east. The ridge reaches its peak Wednesday . but the ridge axis has already moved east into ID/MT. Still close enough to keep conditions dry over W WA.

Start to see the next weather system of consequence start to nudge into the area as early as Wed night if the ECMWF is to be believed although both models have widespread PoPs over W WA by Thursday morning and throughout the day. Inherited forecast had some thunder possible with this system but latest data suggests that instability looks unimpressive for this side of the Cascades. Best conditions for storms looks to be on the east side . but will continue to monitor.

Afternoon highs will see some slight warming under the ridge with interior temps in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Coastal highs vary little in the short term . with temps generally in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Thursday proves to bring some refreshingly cool temps with both coastal and interior temps ranging from the mid 60s to around 70. 18

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Models diverge right off the bat in the long term as the GFS keeps some lingering showers in the area Friday as a fairly unassuming upper ridge fails to get any traction while the ECMWF dries things out pretty quickly. Both deterministic models reallign for the weekend as a strong upper level ridge builds over the Pacific bringing continued dry conditions for W WA. Another upper trough may bring some moisture to the area starting Monday to allow for some slight chance PoPs to re- enter the forecast.

Long term temps will gradually warm starting off in the mid 70s for the interior Friday and peaking at the mid70s to around 80 Sunday and Monday. Coastal temps to remain generally in the mid to upper 60s. 18

AVIATION. Westerly flow aloft into Tuesday. In the lower levelS onshore flow continuing through tomorrow.

Scattered clouds in the 4000-6000 foot range tonight into Tuesday morning with ceilings in the same range near the foothills. Stratus deck developing along the coast after 06z with ceilings below 1000 feet. Stratus moving inland down the Strait of Juan de Fuca and to a lesser extent the Lower Chehalis Valley and Southwest Interior. Tough call on if the stratus gets east of Puget Sound. Best chance from about KSEA-KPAE between 13z and 17z.

KSEA . Scattered clouds tonight into Tuesday morning. Low confidence on if the stratus reaches the terminal Tuesday morning. If it does ceilings at or below 1000 feet between 13z and 17z. Southwesterly wind 4 to 8 knots becoming northwesterly 00z-02z. Felton

MARINE. Onshore flow pattern continuing into the weekend with high pressure offshore and lower pressure inland. The exception will be on Thursday as a weak front moves through the waters. Expect small craft advisory strength west winds most evenings for the Central Strait of Juan de Fuca and the East Entrance. Felton

HYDROLOGY. The daily hydrology discussion has ended until the start of the next rainy season; it will only be updated as needed.

SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. WA . None. PZ . Small Craft Advisory from 5 PM this afternoon to 5 AM PDT Tuesday for Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca-East Entrance U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
