10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. 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. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

Synopsis for the northern and central washington coastal and inland waters..Weak flow through the weekend will lend to quieter conditions across area waters. Low level offshore flow is expected to develop early next week as surface ridging builds east of the cascades. A few organized frontal systems will likely impact the area beginning mid-week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 833 AM PST Sat Dec 14 2019
SYNOPSIS. Scattered showers will decrease over the weekend. Weak high pressure will build over the area Monday and Tuesday. Weather systems will reach the area from the middle to end of next week.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/. A couple of weak upper troughs will bring some shower activity to Western Washington over the weekend. An upper ridge will shift over the area on Monday and a warm front will clip the north coast Monday afternoon and night.
LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. A little light precip might brush the north part of Western Washington on Tuesday as a frontal system moves into British Columbia. Periods of rain are likely Thursday through Saturday as frontal systems affect the area.
AVIATION. Light westerly flow aloft will become northwesterly later today as an upper trough axis shifts onshore and an upper ridge begins to build over the offshore waters. The low level flow is weak. This combined with the moist air mass in place, a mix of MVFR and IFR ceilings in scattered showers will continue through the morning. Some modest improvement in ceilings is expected after 21Z, but areas of MVFR will persist across much of the region through the afternoon. Light surface winds and abundant low level moisture support the development of widespread low MVFR and IFR ceilings again tonight.
KSEA . IFR and/or low MVFR ceilings in light drizzle or showers to continue through midday. Marginal improvement possible after 21Z, but will be temporary at best. Ceilings to sink back to low MVFR or IFR again this evening. Surface winds light southerly this morning becoming light and variable in the afternoon. 27
MARINE. The only remaining headline continues to be the small craft advisory for the Coastal Waters and the western Strait of Juan de Fuca for hazardous seas. West swell of generally 11-13 ft can be expected through the morning hours before decreasing this evening. Winds will remain under advisory levels across the waters through the weekend.
Winds will begin to approach advisory levels on Monday over the coastal waters and the west entrance to the strait as surface high pressure settles east of the Cascades and low pressure deepens over the offshore waters. A more active storm track into the region by midweek will bring the likelihood of advisory or gale force winds at times to area waters. 27
HYDROLOGY. There are no flooding concerns at this time as shower activity will remain scattered and light. Generally quiet conditions will prevail through the weekend and into early next week before the next storm systems affect the region by mid next week.

Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
