.SYNOPSIS...
A dry and warm airmass associated with a strong upper level ridge
will continue to remain over the area through Monday.
Temperatures peaking in the 80s and 90s will bring widespread
Moderate HeatRisk to the region again on Monday. Offshore flow
will bring lower relative humidities and elevated fire danger.
The ridge will weaken on Tuesday, resulting in increased onshore
flow and seasonable temperatures through the rest of the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Clear skies and light offshore flow will continue across western
Washington through tonight. As such, temperatures will continue
to warm across the area today with temps as of 2 PM in the
mid to upper 80s, except along immediate waterfronts where
temperatures in the 70s continue. High temperatures today
across much of the area remain on track for the upper 80s to low
90s. With the thermal trough along the coast, the sea breeze
will struggle to get far inland, with only the immediate
waterfront coastal areas remaining in the 60s and 70s. Low
temperatures tonight a bit warmer, getting into the upper 50s
near the water, with low 60s elsewhere. The thermal trough will
then begin to weaken on Monday and get pushed inland by high
pressure offshore. This will allow weak onshore flow to return
to the coast, but this will take another day to reach the
interior. Highs on Monday through the interior a touch warmer,
but still in the 80s to mid 90s. The highest temperatures will
be across the southern half of the metro and through the
Southwest Interior. Highs on the coast will be dependent on the
amount of recovery seen by the wind, but expecting 70s to low
80s farther inland into the foothills of the Olympics. It will
also be a little less sunny on Monday with a thicker layer of
high clouds overhead through much of the day.

Onshore flow gradients increase as high pressure builds along
the coast. Tuesday will likely be noticeably breezy, with winds
15-20 mph with gusts up to 30-35 mph. The strongest winds will
be through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This onshore flow will
also act to help reduce temperatures across the area, as high
temperatures drop into the mid 70 in the interior, with 60s
along the coast. Low temperatures will also drop Tuesday night,
into the low to mid 50s. Areas along the coast will likely
spend much of the day under the marine layer, with areas on the
Strait clearing out in the morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Temperatures will generally remain seasonably warm but slightly
above average with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. Thursday and
Friday will be the warmest days, with areas around the metro and
the Southwest Interior potentially reaching Moderate HeatRisk.
The overall pattern remains generally stable with morning
clouds and evening sun and no precipitation forecast. Onshore
flow will prevail with breezier conditions each afternoon. Model
differences become greater next week with the evolution of the
pattern with the potential for shortwaves moving through that
may provide more unstable conditions.

&&

.AVIATION...
High pressure and offshore flow will allow for dry and stable
conditions to continue across western Washington. High clouds
will begin to move in late tonight and persist through much of
the day Monday, clearing out Monday evening. Northerly winds
5-10 kt will become light easterly to calm overnight. Winds
resume tomorrow as W/NW 5-10 kt, except 15-20 kt through the
Strait.

KSEA...VFR conditions prevail through the TAF period with high
clouds tonight and tomorrow. N winds around 10 kt ease to E
around 5 kt after 06Z tonight. Winds initially start as S
around 5 kt or less by 15Z but switch to N between 21Z and 00Z
Tue.

&&

.MARINE...
Offshore flow continues through tonight with the thermal trough
present along the coast. The trough will shift inland tonight,
allowing onshore flow to resume tomorrow. Winds will increase
through the Strait of Juan de Fuca tomorrow, beginning with
Small Craft Advisory conditions with winds 15-30 kt. Winds then
further increase on Tuesday for a period of gale force winds
Tuesday afternoon and evening. Winds begin to decrease through
the Strait late Tuesday.

Northwesterly winds will increase through the coastal waters
beginning Tuesday and lasting through the rest of the week for
an extended period of Small Craft Advisory conditions. Seas will
also become locally wind-driven and become very steep. Waves
will increase Tuesday night into Wednesday up to 10-12 ft with a
dominant period of around 9 to 10 seconds. Seas may further
increase late week/next weekend.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Dry conditions with much warmer than normal temperatures
through tomorrow will bring elevated fire weather concerns
across much of the area. Daytime min RH will dip below 20%
across much of southwestern Washington and the southern
Cascades--below 25-30% elsewhere. Even though fine fuels have
not reached critical thresholds, this rapid drying will create
elevated fire concerns especially for dry grassy/shrubby areas,
as well as piles of dead fuels. Offshore flow today into Monday
will prevent good relative humidity recoveries overnight.
Relative humidities improve with the return of onshore flow
Tuesday. Thursday and Friday may also of interested for
additional attention, with slight warming leading to lower min
RHs into the 25-35% range (despite continued onshore flow) and
breezy conditions with gusts up to 15-25 mph, in particular on
Friday. Fuels will continue to slowly dry with no precipitation
forecast.
