Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 915 AM PST Thu Dec 12 2019
SYNOPSIS. A frontal system will move through Western Washington today followed by a cool upper level trough Friday and Saturday. A weak warm front may result in some areas of light rain on Sunday. Upper level ridging will likely support a dry start to next week followed by a more active weather late in the week.
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/. Rain with mountain snow above about 3500 feet today as a front continues to work onshore. There has been just enough instability over the coastal waters this morning to support a few lightning strikes - so the forecast has been updated to include mention of that through the evening hours, this will include the coast during the afternoon. For remainder of the lowlands today scattered showers this morning will become a bit more organized this afternoon as the front moves into the area.
Snow levels over the mountains will linger in the 3500 to 4000 foot range today. Precipitation in the mountains will continue to be showery this morning with more steady precipitation expected ahead of and with the the front as it moves east this afternoon. Snow levels will dip closer to 3000 feet overnight with the cooler air behind the front - at the same time, showers should begin to trend downward. Accumulations will remain possible through Friday afternoon - but should be on the diminishing end of the spectrum.
Overall hower activity decreasing Friday afternoon with highs on a couple of degrees cooler, mostly in the mid to upper 40s. The upper level trough will linger over the area Friday night into Saturday keeping showers in the forecast. Lows in the upper 30s and 40s. Highs in the mid and upper 40s.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. from previous discussion . Not a lot of confidence in the extended forecast. Operational models are trending toward a drier forecast for the first part of next week while the ensembles and the model blends are not having any part of it. With the uncertainty in the models have left broad brush chance pops in the forecast through Tuesday. Models continuing with the inconstant solutions late in the period with the 00z runs keeping the split flow pattern intact keeping the front that was timed into the area on Wednesday out of the area. Will continue with the mostly chance pops for Wednesday and Thursday as well. Felton
AVIATION. Westerly flow aloft continues today as a broad upper trough remains over the northeast Pacific. The air mass is moist and somewhat unstable. A secondary frontal system will shift onshore across Western Washington this morning with a mix of VFR and MVFR ceilings in showers. Some rain shadowing by the Olympics could keep ceilings in the VFR category for central Puget Sound terminals part of the day. Low level flow will be S-SW with surface winds gusting to around 20-25 knots near the front as moves inland.
KSEA . Shower coverage will increase through the morning as another frontal system moves into the region. Ceilings will dip to MVFR in and around heavier showers. Surface winds S-SW 10 to 15 knots gusting 20-25 knots with the passage of the front this afternoon.
27
MARINE. A robust frontal boundary will continue to make eastward progress this morning across the western Washington marine waters. An unstable air mass will produce isolated thunderstorms with the main threat being lightning. Small craft advisory winds will continue across most of the waters today. Winds are the expected to ease this afternoon into the evening hours. However, swell will remain high across the Coastal Waters so will keep SCA going for this area all the way into Saturday. Swells are expected to increase to between 17-18ft thru the day Thursday and remain in the 14-16ft range through Friday into early Saturday. Swells will also present hazardous surf conditions along the Washington Coast on Thursday so the High Surf Advisory will remain in effect into Friday.
Hazardous weather conditions over the waters are expected to subside by the latter half of the weekend.

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. |
