SYNOPSIS
Upper level trough moving south out of the area this morning. Upper level ridge building into the area this afternoon will strengthen tonight and Tuesday. The ridge will shift east Tuesday night and Wednesday. Next front arriving Wednesday night dissipating over the area Thursday morning. Another upper level ridge will build Thursday night into Friday with a warm front in the vicinity of the coast. The ridge will move east and the warm front will dissipate Saturday. Another system will approach from the southwest Sunday.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Satellite imagery shows cloudy skies over Western Washington early this morning. Lower layer of the air mass is saturated with many locations reporting reduced visibility in fog and or light drizzle. Temperatures are in the lower to mid 40s.

A grey and soupy day in store for Western Washington today. Weak upper level trough moving south into Oregon this morning. Low layers of the air mass saturated so even a little lift from the weak trough will result in some morning drizzle or light showers. Surface gradients are light and will remain light through the day. This will keep the low level moisture intact making for a cloudy afternoon as well. With the cloud cover there will be little diurnal spread in the temperatures with highs only a few degrees warmer than the current temperatures, in the mid and upper 40s.

Weak upper level ridge building over the area tonight will strengthen a little Tuesday. Light flow in the lower levels continuing into Tuesday. Subsidence associated with the ridge will compress the low level moisture but not get rid of it. The weak December sun will be little help during the day keeping skies cloudy at least through the morning hours. Some sunbreaks possible Tuesday afternoon. Fog reforming overnight will continue through the morning hours before lifting midday. Lows tonight in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Highs Tuesday in the mid to upper 40s with lower 50s possible along the coast.

Upper level ridge shifting east Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Increasing offshore flow Tuesday night into Wednesday will help dry out the lower layers just in time for the middle and high level cloud deck out ahead of the next front to move over the area. Rain reaching the coast Wednesday afternoon with a chance of rain inland. Lows Tuesday night in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Highs Wednesday near 50.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Models have been consistent the last few runs with the front moving into Western Washington Wednesday night. Large upper level trough digging south in the Eastern Pacific between 140-150W will stall the front over Western Washington Thursday morning with the front dissipating overhead. Models continue to show a race between an upper level ridge building just to the east and a warm front approaching the area from the southwest Friday. The GFS operational run and ensembles support the ridge winning pushing the warm front west and north of the Western Washington. The ECMWF is a different story with the ridge east enough to allow the warm front to brush the area Thursday night into Friday. ECMWF ensembles have about a half of the solutions with precipitation as far east as Seattle.
With the lack of consensus will keep at least a slight chance of rain in the forecast for Thursday night into Friday. Both the ridge and the warm front weakening over Western Washington Friday night into Saturday keeping a chance of rain in the forecast. For Sunday the ridge rebuilds while another front spinning out of the upper level low off Northern California approaches the area. Will go for a mostly dry forecast Sunday. Felton

AVIATION
An upper level ridge will continue to build into the region today, supporting W/NW flow aloft. Flow aloft will then shift more N/NE tonight into Tuesday as the ridge axis starts to move inland. Radar shows a few light showers continuing to linger across the central Sound early this morning. Conditions at the terminals are a mixed bag. With abundant low level moisture and weak surface gradients, expect fairly widespread IFR to LIFR ceilings across much of the area to continue through early this morning with visibilities restricted in fog and low clouds. Expect some gradual improvement by late morning with more widespread MVFR ceilings developing in the afternoon. MVFR ceilings then look to persist through much of the day, however another round of low clouds looks to return tonight and looks to bring another round of IFR to LIFR conditions. Winds remain light and out of the north for the majority of the terminals today, persisting at 6 kt or less.

KSEA...Current conditions IFR, with drizzle at the terminal.
Expect ceilings and visibilities to improve towards MVFR late this morning into early this afternoon. Winds will remain light from the north at 6 kt or less. Another round of low clouds and reduced cigs/visibilities is possible overnight into Tuesday. 14

MARINE
Surface high pressure will build across the coastal waters today and then shift inland on Tuesday, allowing for offshore flow to develop across the region. A weak frontal system will then move across the area waters Wednesday into Thursday and may bring another round of headlines to the region. Another frontal system may move up into the local waters late in the week.

Seas across the coastal waters will continue to subside today from 7 to 9 ft to 4 to 6 ft by tonight. Seas look to hover at between 4 to 6 ft through Tuesday, but look to approach 10 to 11 ft again on Wednesday as the next swell train arrives. Seas then look to subside to 7 to 9 ft Friday and look to continue to subside through the weekend. 14

HYDROLOGY
The Newaukum River in Lewis county and the Chehalis River near Grand Mound in Thurston county have both crested below flood stage. This means the lower reaches of the Chehalis in Thurston and Grays Harbor county will also remain below flood stage. The flood watch was cancelled around 230 AM.

The Skokomish River near Potlatch has receded below flood stage and will continue to recede today. The flood warning for the Skokomish will be cancelled with this forecast package.

Rivers will continue to recede through the first half of the week.
Hydrologically significant rainfall not expected with the front Wednesday night.

No river flooding is expected for the next 7 days. Felton
