Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 822 AM PST Mon Feb 17 2025
SYNOPSIS
A frontal system continues to push through Western Washington this morning, bringing lowland rain and mountain snow.
The next organized system will arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday, which will bring another round of lowland rain and mountain snow. Wet and unsettled conditions are expected to continue into the weekend.
UPDATE
Precipitation will continue to scatter out this morning, becoming more isolated in coverage later today. This also includes snow in the Cascades (which will be tapering back as well). High temperatures today will likely be a couple degrees cooler post front. No changes to the forecast below were made for this morning update.
HPR
SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Radar imagery shows the a second round of widespread precipitation moving across Western Washington early this morning. Additional rainfall amounts will range from 0.10-0.60 inches through Monday morning.
Another round of snowfall across the Cascades is expected to last into the morning, expect an additional 4-8 inches of snow across the passes. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur between now and Monday morning. As a result, a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through 10 AM today. Precipitation should start to decrease in coverage and intensity into the afternoon/evening hours. Any precipitation lingering around will be light.
Brief dry period during the the first half of Tuesday as an upper level ridge will settle over the Pacific Northwest. However, the ridge will quickly exit the region as a shortwave trough continues to push east into Western Washington Tuesday night. Precipitation is expected to continue into Wednesday as the shortwave continues to move across the region. Snow levels on Wednesday morning will be around 1500-2000 ft and will rise to around 3000 ft by Wednesday night. There is uncertainty in exact snowfall accumulations in the passes at this time. However, the NBM's 10th percentile shows around 1-3 inches, while the 90th percentile shows 10-13 inches.
High temperatures will be in the upper 40s to low 50s. Low temperatures will continue to increase through midweek to the low to mid 40s.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Conditions will dry out on Thursday as upper level ridging settles over Western Washington. There is good agreement between long-range models that the wet and unsettled weather pattern will continue into the weekend. A shortwave trough will push through the region on Friday night through Saturday morning, bringing another round of lowland rain and mountain snow. Snow levels will be around 3500-3800 ft on Friday morning and will rise above 4500 ft by Friday night.
The next system of concern is the shortwave that will move over Western Washington during the weekend. Snow levels on Saturday will increase above 5000 ft and rise above 6000 ft on Sunday.
Therefore, expect rain for the majority of Western Washington, including the passes. Mountain snow will be limited to elevations higher than 5000/6000 ft. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding QPF with this system at this time. However, long-range models and IVT analysis are hinting at a potential atmospheric river that could bring significant precipitation to Western Washington.
Temperatures will continue to warm up into the weekend, with high temperatures reaching the mid 50s and low temperatures in the mid to upper 40s by Sunday.
MGF
AVIATION
Upper level trough over the area this morning will move east this afternoon and tonight. Light flow aloft becoming northerly later this afternoon and tonight. At the surface, weak trough dissipating over Western Washington today. High pressure building tonight combined with approaching front turning flow offshore Tuesday.
Mostly MVFR ceilings into Tuesday morning with pockets of LIFR/IFR ceilings near the Strait of Juan de Fuca, over the Kitsap Peninsula and the Southwest Interior. Visibility lowering at times to 3-5sm in rain.
KSEA.. MVFR to IFR ceilings into Tuesday morning. Visibility lowering at times to 3-5sm in rain/mist. Southeast wind 4 to 8 knots becoming southwest this afternoon. 33/Felton
MARINE
A surface trough will dissipate over the area today. High pressure building over the waters tonight shifting inland Tuesday. Next front reaching the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Another system will arrive Friday.
Small craft advisories will continue over the coastal waters through tonight for seas 10 to 14 feet subsiding to 8 to 10 feet late tonight. Seas will drop briefly below 10 feet Tuesday into Tuesday night before building to 9 to 14 feet later Tuesday night into Wednesday. Seas subsiding again Wednesday night into Thursday. System on Friday will build seas back up over 10 feet.
A gale watch has been issued for the outer coastal waters Tuesday night into Wednesday morning for the next front. Small craft advisory winds for the inner coastal waters and Strait of Juan de Fuca late Tuesday night into Wednesday. The system on Friday likely to bring another round of small craft advisory winds to the coastal waters. Felton
HYDROLOGY
A pair of frontal systems will move across Western Washington this week bringing modest precipitation to the area.
Snow levels will remain in the 3000 to 4000 ft range into Friday.
Models continuing to show the potential for at atmospheric river event this weekend with the atmospheric river possibly remaining over the area into Monday. Widespread river rises will result if this scenario plays out with the possibility of flooding along the Skokomish River and other rivers flowing off the Olympics like the Satsop and the Bogachiel. A longer duration atmospheric river event would also put pressure on rivers flowing off the Cascades.
Until this weekend, no flooding is forecast. The Skokomish may rise into action stage Tuesday or Wednesday. Felton
CLIMATE
Seattle had a high of 52 degrees Sunday. The first day with a high above normal this month ( normal is 50 degrees ).
