Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 250 PM PST Mon Mar 1 2021

SYNOPSIS. Mostly dry and warmer conditions across the region through Thursday as quasi-zonal flow gives way to high pressure aloft. A pattern change late Thursday will see a return of wet weather to Western Washington Friday into the weekend.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/. As expected, mid-level clouds have largely mixed out this afternoon with sunshine being observed from Snohomish County southward through the Chehalis Valley, including Puget Sound. Offshore, a large upper level trough has closed off west of the California coast this afternoon, completing the split from the mean polar jet. A weakening shortwave trough will eject across the region later tonight, yielding light scattered showers across the northern half of the region through early Tuesday morning. Quasi-zonal flow will remain in place Tuesday before a ridge of high pressure begins building over the Great Basin on Wednesday in response to the aforementioned upper low ejecting into the Cen Cal/SoCal coast. As this is occuring, a large upper level low will eject out of the Gulf of Alaska, flattening the ridge axis some Wednesday and Thursday and setting the stage for a return of wet weather for the weekend.

In all, dry conditions expected through the period with warming conditions on Wednesday and Thursday. Some locales may threaten the 60 degree F mark for the first time this year. Aside from this, gusty winds will be possible along the coast with the approach of the next system.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. The aforementioned ridge will break down late Thursday night into Friday with rain gradually spreading from west to east across Western Washington Friday. This system looks to tap into a large fetch of moisture across the northeast Pacific and point it at the West Coast as the aforementioned large upper low ejects out of the Gulf of Alaska. While confidence is high in rain returning to the region, the details of this system remain murky this afternoon and trends in the coming days will be important in sussing those out. Ensemble guidance this afternoon is trending toward a deeper trough setting up off of the northwest coast, with some ensemble blends hinting at another split flow situation where the bulk of the upper level energy impacts Southern OR/NorCal. A deeper trough, and/or split flow solution would point the bulk of the AR at the Oregon Coast, with the Olympic Peninsula seeing lower rainfall amounts. The good news regardless of what scenario unfolds is that the pattern will remain progressive through the weekend, cutting the moisture fetch off after 24 to 36 hours. Nonetheless, this will be worth keeping an eye on, as the GEFS and EPS members are converging on at least a weak AR event for the West Coast Friday into Saturday. At this time, flooding is not a concern due to only modest (forecast) rises in snow level and mostly dry conditions this week.

Active weather looks to persist through the weekend and into early next week as a mean trough will remain over the region, keeping the door open for additional systems to traverse Western Washington.

Pullin

AVIATION. Southwesterly flow aloft becoming westerly as weak high pressure shifts eastward and a weak upper trough moves over the area. Low-level flow will turn weakly onshore this afternoon into tonight. Abundant higher level moisture continues to stream across western Washington. General VFR conditions will deteriorate to MVFR by early Tuesday morning as onshore flow behind a dissipating front spreads lower clouds into the region.

KSEA . VFR conditions expected through this evening with MVFR conditions developing by around 09Z tonight with a few showers in the vicinity. Surface winds light S-SW.

27

MARINE. A weak front will dissipate as it moves onshore tonight. Low level onshore flow will increase as it does so. This will lead to borderline small craft advisory westerlies in the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca tonight. In addition, seas will also rebuild to around 10 ft with this system tonight into Tuesday.

A more significant frontal system will affect the waters Thursday into Friday will possible gales for the coastal waters and portions of the inland waters. Coastal seas will build to 15-18 feet.

27

HYDROLOGY. Light rainfall amounts over the next several days will preclude the threat for river flooding. Continuing to keep an eye on Friday through the weekend as an atmospheric river will approach the west coast. Rainfall totals remain contingent on the evolution of this system and flooding is not expected at this time.
