.SYNOPSIS...A warm front will bring widespread lowland rain and
mountain snow for the highest elevations today with showers
lingering into Saturday. A cooler system remains on track into
early next week with heavy mountain snow and the potential for
an early morning rain/snow mix for parts of the interior
lowlands.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...A warm front is
clipping the area today for light precipitation. With the warmer
air mass the snow levels are higher and around 5,000 ft. We`re
in the warm sector tonight and Saturday as the front lifts north
and stalls over southern B.C. Temperatures on Saturday will be
mild and in the lower to mid 50s. Rain chances increase on
Sunday a cold front sags south into western WA. It will be
breezy as well with gusts to 15 to 30 mph. Snow levels will drop
Sunday night with a few inches of snow in the Cascades
including both Stevens and Snoqualmie Pass. 33

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...The weather pattern is
cold and wet moving through next week with low snow levels.
Strong, moist, westerly flow will hammer the mountains with
potential for several feet of snow. Rates increase on Wednesday
and Thursday which could make travel over the mountains
difficult. Across the lowlands, with low snow levels, there is a
rain/snow mix in the forecast Mon-Fri. The low level flow will
remain onshore, though, which will help temperatures mostly stay
above freezing and thus limit impacts. Snow levels will be
rising on Wed and Thu and any snow would mostly affect areas
close to the mountains. 33

.AVIATION...A surface warm front will continue to pass through
the terminals through the afternoon into tonight. Flow aloft
will continue to remain northwest with this system with an upper
level high well offshore. Light rain will continue through
tonight into Saturday, with visibilities and ceilings expected
to deteriorate on a larger scale tonight into Saturday morning
(IFR potential remains highest Saturday morning, though brief
drops to IFR will continue with the heaviest showers).
Improvements to MVFR are likely late Saturday. Southwest winds
5-10 kt this afternoon will increase to 8-12 kt with gusts to 20
kt later this evening into Saturday.

KSEA...MVFR to continue through tonight, with increasing chances of
ceilings dropping to IFR Saturday morning through the afternoon,
before improving to MVFR late. Light rain likely to continue through
Saturday morning with activity tapering through the day. Southwest
winds 5-10 kt will increase to 8-12 kt gusting to 20 kt later this
afternoon into Saturday.

.MARINE...A surface warm front will pass through the waters
today into Saturday. No significant weather is expected with
this first system, but rain and mist may lower visibilities to
mariners at times. The flow pattern will remain largely onshore
this weekend into next week. The next likelihood of impactful
weather will come with the first trough of a progressive pattern
later this weekend into next week. The next system Saturday
night through Monday will send strong westerlies through the
Strait of Juan de Fuca, with a medium chance of gale gusts
occurring. The gusty winds are also expected to spread into the
coastal waters, and the Admiralty Inlet with more confidence in
the gusts affecting small craft at this time. Another system
midweek next week will also produce gusty winds across all
waters.

Seas through Saturday will range from 6 to 8 feet, further
increasing to 9-12 ft Sunday through next week.

.HYDROLOGY...Heavy precipitation over the Olympics will force
rises on the Skokomish River with the potential for flooding
late next week. No other river flooding is expected during the
next seven days.
