SYNOPSIS. Dry conditions continue tonight, but an approaching front late Friday and through Saturday will bring rain and mountain snow back to the region. The upper trough will remain near the area through the weekend, with additional showers ending early next week. After a short break, another wet weather system may arrive around midweek.
SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. Latest satellite imagery reveals a mid-level cloud deck that continues to scatter out across much of Western Washington this afternoon after a fairly solid marine push early this morning. That said, plenty of clouds remain banked up against the Cascades and areas east of I-5/I-405, as well as the southern slopes of the Olympics. Expect onshore flow to again bring a return of stratus to most of the region overnight.Can't entirely rule out some light showers, especially near the mountains tonight as a weak impulse slides across the area. Otherwise most stay dry overnight into early Friday. However, the dry streak will more significantly come to an end late Friday and through Saturday as an upper trough moves offshore and the associated front pushing across the region. One streak that will end today, however, is the run of consecutive 70+ degree days at Sea-Tac as temperatures this afternoon are only around 60 as of 3 PM.
Saturday will be cloudy, cool, and wet across the region with temperatures struggling to get much above the lower 50s - likely the coolest day in early two weeks and much cooler than recent temperatures. Snow levels will likely begin above the Cascade passes Friday night, possibly lowering to around 4,000 feet Saturday and closer to 3,000 feet Sunday. While some light snow may reach the passes, any accumulations should be very limited with precipitation tapering to showers by the time the cooler air arrives.
Some breaks in the clouds are expected into Sunday, likely allowing for temperatures to warm closer to the upper 50s or near 60 across the interior. Scattered showers will still remain though, and there remains some potential for an isolated thunderstorm Sunday afternoon. Have broadly introduced this to the forecast mostly south and west of Puget Sound for now, but will look to refine this in the coming days. Cullen
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. Some light showers and clouds may linger into Monday as another disturbance rotates through the region, but temperatures will continue to remain near normal into Tuesday and a bit of a break in the precipitation as a ridge then may build over the area. However, this ridge may be short-lived as a deeper low in the Gulf of Alaska develops and may bring a stronger frontal system with a deeper plume of associated moisture into approach the region late in forecast period. Latest ensemble guidance places this plume anywhere from the northern B.C. coast to Oregon at this point, so confidence in the finer details remains lower. That said, the current forecast for Wednesday-Thursday contains significantly more precipitation than the region has seen over the last 10 days or so.
AVIATION. Skies have scattered out nicely from this morning's marine stratus layer. We are expecting ceilings to begin to drop down late tonight as a front moves through. Ceilings throughout Western Washington are expected to be mostly MVFR. There may be a few localized areas of IFR during the early morning hours. This is most likely to occur in those fog prone terminals such as KPWT. Ceilings are expected to begin improve by daybreak Friday, with VFR conditions expected for more non coastal terminals by afternoon.
Winds are expected to remain south/southwesterly through the period and will be mostly 5-7 knots. However, KBLI and KHQM could see some slightly higher sustained winds as well as some gusts (less than 20 knots) tomorrow afternoon.
KSEA . VFR conditions will remain in place through the rest of Thursday. Ceilings will begin to lower late tonight as a weak front moves through. Conditions will likely remain in VFR but there is the chance that the terminal drops down to a high end MVFR between 10 and 18 UTC. Winds will remain southwesterly, ease slightly during the overnight before picking back up to 5-7 knots come daybreak on Friday.

MARINE. Weak onshore flow will continue through the rest of the day, but southerly winds are expected to pick up through the Northern Interior Waters during the overnight as a weak frontal system moves through. Once this system moves through we are expecting a slight push through the Strait of Juan de Fuca due to the westerly flow and funneling from the topography. A small craft advisory has been issued for both of these areas due to the winds.
Looking at the coastal waters, winds will experience that same wind shift from south/southwesterly to westerly as the weak front moves through Western Washington. Winds are not expected to be as strong over these waters though. Expect northwest swells 4-6 feet through tonight before gradually becoming more westerly Friday morning.
Another system is expected to move through the area Sunday, this will bring similar conditions as mentioned above.

HYDROLOGY. No river flooding is expected through the next 7 days.
