Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 404 PM PDT Mon Jul 6 2020

SYNOPSIS. An upper level disturbance crosses the region tonight and Tuesday, bringing another round of widespread showers and cooler temperatures. After a short break on Wednesday, additional weather systems rotate through the region on Thursday and over the weekend, bringing another focus for rain chances.

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/. Latest satellite imagery reveals lingering lower clouds across much of Western Washington, while some mid-level clouds are also rotating across the region. A few showers are also indicated on radar moving onshore along the coast, but latest surface observations indicate that very little, if any, rain is reaching the surface in these showers. The upper level trough will push onshore tonight and move across the area through Tuesday. This will maintain more widespread shower coverage, but should remain generally light. Temperatures will be notably cooler as a result, topping out in the 60s for the lowlands.

The upper trough exits to the east Tuesday night, with a weak upper ridge building over the region. This should lead to mostly dry conditions and plenty of afternoon sunshine after morning clouds. This will lead to a return of temperatures to the lower 70s in the lowlands. Another weak disturbance may move across the region on Thursday, with a more zonal or southwesterly flow pattern developing. Some guidance indicates a chance for a thunderstorm or two over the mountains, so have indicated a slight chance Thursday afternoon.

Cullen

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Friday looks to be another generally drier day in between systems, though shower chances will continue near the coast and it the higher terrain in the ongoing onshore low-level flow. A deeper upper trough then likely moves through the region over the weekend for more widespread rain coverage and cooler daytime temperatures. While the timing of various impulses through the long term period may shift the most likely time periods for precipitation and just how much moisture will be around, the key message in the ensemble guidance seems to be a cool and showery pattern prevailing through the start of next week.

Cullen

AVIATION. Varying amounts of cloud cover this afternoon are allowing for SCt-BKN VFR ceilings across western Washington. This general trend will carry us into the overnight period before the next marine push lowers ceilings down to MVFR by daybreak Tuesday. The passage of a weak weather system on Tuesday will make cloud erosion and cig recovery a bit more difficult than today. Could see recovery back to low end VFR late afternoon, but many sites may remain MVFR. Shower chances will also be higher on Tuesday, tho will not be widespread. Winds out of the South may be a bit breezy at times over the next 24 hours, but are generally expected to remain 8- 12kts with a few isolated gusts 15-20kts possible.

KSEA . SCT-BKN VFR cigs into the overnight. MVFR marine stratus likely to advect in shortly before daybreak Tuesday morning, with little recovery expected through the day. Winds S/SW 8-12kts with an isolated gust near 20kts possible.

Kovacik

MARINE. Latest afternoon surface analysis reveals an expansive anticyclone centered across the far North Pacific. This feature will be largely responsible for the continuation of onshore flow over the next week, along with the passage of several frontal systems throughout the period as well. Winds will be breezy at times over the waters, especially in the vicinity of any frontal systems, however, no impacts and generally minimal headlines are likely to be needed. The exception will be the diurnal push down the Strait of Juan de Fuca each evening, so small craft advisories for the Central and Eastern Strait will be likely each evening and overnight period over the next several days. Also provided the continued onshore flow, anticipate varying amounts of lower level cloud cover through the week, especially during the morning hours. Showers will be possible through much of the week as well, with the highest chances Tuesday, Thursday, and over the weekend.

Seas will remain benign through the forecast period, with swells remaining 5 ft or less over the offshore waters. Over the interior waters, wind waves will be highest (2-4ft) across the Central and Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca during diurnal westerly pushes.

Kovacik

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

SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. WA . None. PZ . Small Craft Advisory until 3 AM PDT Tuesday for Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca-East Entrance U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca.
