AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
830 PM PST WED FEB 22 2012
.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION TONIGHT
AND CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY. A STRONG BUT COLDER PACIFIC STORM
WILL BRING PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE
CASCADES...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. EXPECT THE COLD FRONT TO SWEEP
ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE STEADY PRECIPITATION TAPERING
OFF TO SHOWERS BEHIND IT. COOL AND SHOWERY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL ON
SATURDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM...LATEST RADAR LOOPS INDICATES SCATTERED SHOWERS
CONTINUING ACROSS WRN WA THIS EVENING. THE PUGET SOUND CONVERGENCE
ZONE REMAINS ACTIVE OVER KING COUNTY BUT THE STRONG FLOW IS KEEPING
THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION PUSHED UP INTO THE FOOTHILLS AND CASCADES.
IT HAS BEEN SNOWING AROUND 1 INCH PER HOUR SINCE MIDDAY WITH ABOUT 6
INCHES ON THE GROUND. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE MORE INCHES OF SNOW
THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE THE CONVERGENCE ZONE WINDS DOWN.
GRADIENTS ARE STARTING TO EASE WITH WINDS STARTING TO COME DOWN IN
THE STRAIT WHICH SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF A WEAKENING CONVERGENCE ZONE.
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH MIDNIGHT
FOR THE CENTRAL CASCADES.
WESTERLY WINDS DOWN THE STRAIT MANAGED TO REACH THE ADMIRALTY INLAND
AREA AND ESPECIALLY AFFECTING WHIDBEY ISLAND. HAD TO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THAT AREA WITH SUSTAINED WINDS EASILY REACHING 30-35
MPH AND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. WINDS HAVE EASED A BIT BUT IT STILL
REMAINS GUSTY. WILL PROBABLY ALLOW THE ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 9 PM.
HIGHER PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT BUILDS OVER WRN WA LATER
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. MOIST ONSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST WITH MOST THE
SHOWER ACTIVITY UP IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE LOWLANDS WILL LIKELY STAY
MOSTLY DRY WITH SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE EXPECTED.
THE RIDGE SHIFTS EAST THURSDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT BRINGS LIGHT
RAIN TO MOST OF WRN WA OVERNIGHT. SNOW LEVELS WILL BRIEFLY JUMP
ABOVE 4K FT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY BEFORE THE COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH DURING THE DAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL BACK BELOW 2K FT WITH
HEAVY SNOW ALONG SW FACING SLOPES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. IT WILL RAIN
ACROSS THE LOWLAND...CHANGING TO SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT FRIDAY
NIGHT. THE SNOW LEVELS WILL BE QUITE LOW...POSSIBLY DOWN TO 500-1000
FEET IN HEAVIER SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT. SNOW WILL CONTINUE PILING UP
IN THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES WITH AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 FEET POSSIBLE
THROUGH SATURDAY. MERCER
.LONG TERM...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...A COOLER AND SOMEWHAT
DRIER PATTERN WILL PREVAIL OVER THE REGION DURING THE EARLY PART OF
THIS PERIOD. THE MEDIUM RANGE SOLUTIONS DIVERGED BEYOND MON...THUS
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WAS NOT
HIGH. FOR NOW...WENT WITH NEAR OR SOMEWHAT BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND
POPS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...THE UPPER REACHES OF WESTERN WASHINGTON RIVERS CRESTED
EARLIER TODAY. THE LOWER REACHES OF THE RIVERS WILL CREST TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING AS THE CRESTS CONTINUE TO MOVE DOWNSTREAM.
THE EXCEPTION IS THE CHEHALIS RIVER...WHICH WILL CREST IN THE
CENTRALIA AND GRAND MOUND AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND DOWNSTREAM IN
GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
MINOR FLOODING CONTINUES ON REACHES OF THE SNOHOMISH...SNOQUALMIE...
GREEN...AND NEWAUKUM RIVERS AND WARNINGS WILL CONTINUE THERE
TONIGHT.
THE PUYALLUP RIVER NEAR ORTING HAS FALLEN BELOW FLOOD STAGE...AND
THE COWLITZ RIVER AT RANDLE CRESTED EARLIER THIS EVENING ABOUT A
HALF FOOT BELOW FLOOD STAGE. THOSE TWO WARNINGS WILL END WITH THE
EVENING UPDATE.
A FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SNOHOMISH...KING...PIERCE...
THURSTON...AND LEWIS COUNTIES. THAT IS BECAUSE MINOR FLOODING IS
STILL POSSIBLE AT RIVER FORECAST POINTS IN THOSE COUNTIES -- IN
PARTICULAR AT THE SNOHOMISH RIVER NEAR MONROE...THE WHITE RIVER
BELOW MUD MOUNTAIN DAM...SKOOKUMCHUCK RIVER NEAR BUCODA...AND THE
CHEHALIS RIVER NEAR GRAND MOUND.
THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND MOVE
THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. WITH THE
POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE SKOKOMISH RIVER...IT DOES NOT POSE A
THREAT OF FLOODING. IT WILL BRING STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
OF 1 TO 2.5 INCHES TO THE MOUNTAINS. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL BE FAIRLY
LOW HOWEVER...RISING TO A MAXIMUM OF AROUND 3500 FT AS IT MOVES
THROUGH. IN SHORT...IT WILL BE A SNOW PRODUCER FOR THE MOUNTAINS. A
COOL WEATHER PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WITH NO FLOODING EXPECTED. MCDONNAL
