Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 356 AM PDT Wed Apr 15 2026
SYNOPSIS
A cold front continues to shift eastward today, with steady snow coming to an end in the Cascades. However, expect widespread showers Wednesday across the area in the cool, unstable post- frontal air mass. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible this afternoon. Drier but cool conditions then develop later this week until the next frontal system approaches the region offshore this weekend.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
A cold front passed through western Washington yesterday evening/this morning. This is being driven by an upper level low/trough that will dig southward today across the state. The radar remains active this morning with precipitation continuing in the lowlands and Cascades this morning. A convergence zone is keeping showers going between Seattle and Everett. Snow has been falling at all of the Cascade passes, and the surface temperatures up there have been just below freezing. The winter storm warning will continue through 11 PM this evening, with a couple additional rounds of snow expected through the day today. A couple of the snow-bands later may be able to produce heavier snow rates.
For the remainder of the area today, the cold air aloft with the trough sinking over will create an unstable airmass for a chance of convection today. SPC has the coastal areas in a general risk of thunder today, although the thunder risk will encompass the entire coverage area today. The risk is capped at 30% (with the coastline and interior/Puget Sound areas having the best chance of seeing thunder). These showers/thunderstorms are expected to be scattered in nature, with any breaks of sun during the morning able to add to the 200-300 J/kg of CAPE in place. The window for thunder will be from late morning through early evening. The main concerns are lightning, and downpours containing heavy rain and graupel/small hail. No organized severe weather is expected. Highs today remain cool - upper 40s to low 50s in the lowlands, and 30s/40s in the mountains. Winds will remain light out of the west 5-10 mph.
The trough moves out going into Thursday. North flow behind the trough will bring in cooler Canadian air into the region. Conditions will be dry going into Thursday/Friday. Main concern will be the potential for any fog/frost/freeze conditions next couple mornings to finish the week. Mitigating factors will be the potential for some cloud coverage overnight, boundary layer conditions and the wet grounds from recent rains may favor some patchy fog development in spots. Light to calm winds and any clearing that does take place will allow temperatures to fall into the low 30s and upper 20s Thursday and Friday morning. Probabilities for a hard freeze are greatest in the Chehalis Valley/South Interior areas, with remaining lowland areas more likely to see frost at this point. If frost/freeze conditions do form, it will be important to protect any plants/crops outside susceptible to the cold conditions.
HPR
LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/
Ensemble guidance continues to bring the next low pressure system south from the Gulf of Alaska offshore past the region this weekend. There remains a significant spread in the eastward extent of the associated front across the region, which would impact the potential for additional rainfall this weekend.
While there remains some mention across most of the area, the chances remain highest across the Olympic Peninsula and coastline. Regardless, this looks to be a weaker system than the currently passing front and a more seasonable air mass with lowland temperatures returning to the 60s and snow levels returning back above the Cascade passes.

AVIATION
A cold front moved through the terminals this morning, with a post- front convergence zone producing additional showers in Puget Sound.
The showers were rotating around an anti-cyclonic meso-low, with some outflow turning the winds northeasterly at KSEA and KBFI this morning. The convergence zone is expected to last through 16-18Z, with winds turning back to the southwest 4-8 kt. Ceilings this morning have ranged between MVFR/VFR, but will trend towards VFR through the day. A trough will dig southward today, with north flow increasing late tonight/Thursday aloft. Breaks in the clouds with sun today will help destabilize the atmosphere for convection during the day. There is a 20-30% chance of thunder in the terminals this afternoon (most likely window is from 20Z-00Z this afternoon denoted with PROB30). Cloud tops on any storms are likely to remain under 20,000 ft. Coverage will be scattered in nature. Main concerns are lightning, heavy downpours that may contain graupel/small hail, and gusty/variable outflow winds. Conditions will dry going into Thursday with an increased likelihood of MVFR ceilings Thursday morning. Winds become light out of the northwest tonight/Thursday less than 5 kt.
KSEA...Vicinity showers with a convergence zone to continue through late this morning. Brief NE winds with this feature will switch to the SW 4-8 kt around 16-18Z (few gusts up to 20 kt before the switch). MVFR ceilings improving to VFR this morning, with MVFR likely Thursday morning. Showers to continue through the day and a 30% chance of thunder (most likely window is from 21Z-00Z). Drier conditions into Thursday morning. Lightning, graupel/downpours, and variable breezy winds are possible with storms in/near the terminal.
Winds to become light under 5 kt later this evening (brief variable period possible from 22Z-02Z).
HPR
MARINE
Winds have peaked over the waters this morning in the wake of the passing cold front. Widespread showers can be expected through the day with a few stronger ones potentially bringing lightning and stronger wind gusts. Meanwhile, seas remain 7 to 12 ft over the coastal waters as they increase today. Even if short of 10 ft, conditions will be rather steep with a dominant period around 8 seconds over the coastal waters.
Conditions begin to subside later in the week with weak high pressure building over the waters Thursday through Saturday. The next front will approach the waters over the weekend bringing another round of gusty winds and building seas over the waters into the weekend.

HYDROLOGY
No river flooding is expected during the next seven days.
