AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
350 AM PDT THU JUN 20 2013
.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. RAIN
WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...HEAVY AT TIMES IN THE NORTH
CASCADES. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY GIVING DRIER WEATHER. RAIN IS LIKELY EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
&&
.SHORT TERM...A BROAD AND SOMEWHAT DISORGANIZED UPPER LOW WILL BE
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TODAY. MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE
NORTH SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW WILL BRING RAIN TO WESTERN WASHINGTON
TODAY...STARTING WITH THE NORTHERN AREAS...AND SAGGING SOUTH OVER
MOST OF THE AREA DURING THE DAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE DECENT
OROGRAPHIC WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT ENHANCING RAINFALL AMOUNTS
OVER THE NORTH CASCADES. MUCH OF THE NORTH CASCADES SHOULD SEE ONE
TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN TODAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL TAPER RAPIDLY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WITH AREAS
SOUTH OF SEATTLE ONLY SEEING A FEW HUNDREDTHS. THERE WILL ALSO BE
SOME BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTH
INTERIOR...IN RESPONSE TO FALLING PRESSURES OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA.
HIGHS TODAY WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH RAIN AT TIMES
AND LOTS OF CLOUD COVER.
SHOWERS WILL TAPER TONIGHT AND MOSTLY END BY FRIDAY EVENING AS THE
UPPER LOW PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT
BUILDS OVER THE AREA. IT STILL LOOKS PRETTY CLOUDY FRIDAY WITH
RESIDUAL MOISTURE LINGERING BUT IT WILL BE DRIER AND A COUPLE
DEGREES WARMER. THERE MIGHT EVEN BE SOME AFTERNOON SUNBREAKS. HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BE IN CONTROL SATURDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES
WARMING BACK INTO THE 70S AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. SCHNEIDER
&&
.LONG TERM...A WEAKENING NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH WILL
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY. MODELS ARE STILL
STRUGGLING WITH THE DETAILS. THE ECMWF AND GEM TAKE THE SYSTEM
ONSHORE TO THE SOUTH LEAVING WESTERN WASHINGTON MAINLY DRY. THE GFS
PUSHES THE TROUGH INLAND OVER THE AREA WITH A LITTLE LIGHT RAIN. A
SECOND SYSTEM HAD BEEN ADVERTISED FOR MONDAY BUT MODELS ARE NOW
PUSHING MOST OF THIS SYSTEM ONSHORE TO THE SOUTH AS WELL. FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL DOMINATE THE EASTERN
PACIFIC WITH MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FOR WESTERN WASHINGTON.
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING ONSHORE WITH A
LITTLE RAIN DURING THIS PERIOD BUT THE DETAILS ARE HOPELESSLY
MUDDLED FOR NOW. SCHNEIDER
&&
.AVIATION...BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE AREA TODAY MOVING SLOWLY
EAST. LIGHT FLOW ALOFT BECOMING EASTERLY THIS AFTERNOON. AIR MASS
MOIST AND STABLE WITH LOW LEVEL ONSHORE FLOW.
DOPPLER RADAR SHOWS LIGHT RAIN ROTATING BACK AROUND THE LOW AS FAR
SOUTH AS SNOHOMISH COUNTY AT 10Z. THE RAIN WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTH
REACHING OLYMPIA BY MIDDAY. CEILINGS IN THE 4000 TO 6000 FOOT RANGE
LOWERING DOWN NEAR 2000 FEET DURING THE MORNING HOURS WITH THE LOWER
CONDITIONS CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL
BE THE CENTRAL COAST WHERE THE RAIN WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL LATE
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION TO THE LOWERING CEILINGS REDUCED
VISIBILITIES...3-5 SM...POSSIBLE WITH THE RAIN OVER THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
KSEA...CEILINGS AOA 5000 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING. INCREASING LOW
LEVEL ONSHORE FLOW WITH CEILINGS LOWERING DOWN TO NEAR 2000 FEET
14Z-17Z. CEILINGS REMAINING NEAR 2000 FEET INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS
WITH LIGHT RAIN. SOUTHERLY WINDS 8 TO 12 KNOTS. FELTON
&&

SURFACE LOW OVER THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. GALE WARNINGS ARE UP FOR THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA THIS MORNING AND NORTHERN
INLAND WATERS FOR LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
EASE TONIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ONSHORE. HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE WATERS ON FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. A FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
COASTAL WATERS ON SATURDAY AND MOVE INLAND ON SUNDAY. A SPLITTING
SYSTEM WILL FOLLOW ON MONDAY. FELTON
&&
