Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 347 AM PDT Thu May 13 2021
SYNOPSIS. Middle and high level clouds embedded in the northwesterly flow aloft moving across the area today. A weak trough will move through Friday. An upper ridge will build over the weekend. The ridge will break down Monday allowing a series of weather systems to move into the area next week.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. Satellite imagery shows middle and high level clouds over the area this morning with low stratus along the coast into the Lower Chehalis Valley. Patchy fog has formed over the Northwest Interior as well as around the Hood Canal and in Snohomish county. Temperatures at 3 am/10z were in the mid 40s to mid 50s.
The fog this morning will be shallow and dissipate by late morning. Low clouds along the coast will be slower to dissipate hanging on until the afternoon hours. Satellite imagery shows plenty of middle and high level clouds offshore which will move over the area throughout the day ( we could have a colorful sunrise this morning ). Will word the forecast as partly sunny. Light onshore flow will keep highs in the lower to mid 60s on the coast with mid 60s to lower 70s for the remainder of the area.
Very weak upper level trough developing tonight then moving south of the area Friday. The trough is so weak it does not look like it will produce any precipitation. Upper level flow becoming northwest which will decrease the amount of middle and high level clouds moving into the area Friday. Northwesterly surface gradients picking up overnight into Friday with stratus along the coast tonight not making it very far inland Friday morning. With the decrease in the cloud cover Friday high temperatures over the interior will be a couple of degrees warmer than today, mid 60s to mid 70s while the coast will stay near 60 degrees. Lows tonight in the mid 40s to lower 50s.
Upper level ridge building over Western Washington Friday night and Saturday. The ridge is not real strong, 500 mb heights in the mid 570 dms, and the low level flow remains northwesterly. Plenty of sunshine Saturday outside of right along the coast. The northwesterly gradients/afternoon seabreeze will keep highs along the coast in the lower 60s while inland another day of mid 60s to mid 70s.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Extended models in good agreement with the ridge remaining in place Sunday but starting to show signs of weakening. Sunday still looks to be the warmest day in the forecast period but only by a couple of degrees with the warmest locations getting into the upper 70s. Model blend continues to bring slight chance of showers into the forecast Monday. The deterministic models are dry and the ensembles have very few solutions ( ECMWF 4 out of 50 ) with just light precipitation. Have gone ahead and dried out Monday. Weak marine push Sunday night into Monday morning resulting in around 5 degrees of cooling for the interior while the coast remains near 60 degrees. Models in general agreement Tuesday and Wednesday with a cool upper level trough moving into the area. Snow levels will drop quickly Monday night and be near 4500 feet Tuesday and as low as 3500 feet Wednesday. High temperatures will drop to below normal Tuesday and Wednesday with highs only in the mid 50s to around 60 Wednesday. Felton
AVIATION. Scattered high clouds this morning, with an expanding IFR-MVFR stratus deck. Most TAF sites around the Sound are VFR, with fog and low ceilings affecting KCLM and KHQM. Expect ceilings to lower through sunrise around the Puget Sound sites as stratus expands. Ceilings currently expected to drop to MVFR, with the IFR confined more to the Strait and Coast. Ceilings will recover quickly through the morning as stratus lifts and retreats west, leaving just some scattered cirrus around 25kft. Stratus appears less likely for most sites Friday morning, the exception of KHQM near the Coast. Light winds this morning will pick up out of the N later this morning at 5-10kts.
KSEA . VFR through the period, with a short period of MVFR ceilings this morning around sunrise as marine stratus expands. N winds at or below 5kts through mid-morning, picking up to around 10kts this afternoon.

MARINE. High pressure remains the dominant feature in the low levels early this morning, providing another morning of onshore flow across Western Washington. In response, have already begun to see better stratus coverage over the waters, especially along the Coast and across portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Stratus should continue to expand through sunrise and shortly thereafter, with better coverage into Puget Sound as compared to the past several days. As is typically the case, stratus will lift and retreat back towards the Coast later this morning and into the afternoon, leaving mostly sunny skies with some passing high clouds over the waters. Winds this morning and afternoon will be rather benign out of the N/NW.
This evening, a stronger diurnal push is expected down the Strait, which will prompt a small craft advisory for the central and eastern portions. West wind of around 25kts can be expected from mid-evening to shortly before sunrise Friday. NW wind over the Outer Coastal Waters will also pick up to small craft criteria and remain there for some time (likely all the way into the weekend).
For Friday and through the weekend, expect a diurnal westerly push down the Strait each evening and overnight period, strengthening each day and eventually bleeding into the adjacent waters of Admiralty and N Inland Waters this weekend. Current gradients appear strong enough for gale force wind in the Strait Sunday evening/night. This pattern will generally carry into early next week.
Seas and swells appear rather calm over the next week at generally 5ft or less.
