| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 805pm PDT Sat August 8 2026 A rather benign evening is in store for western Washington as no changes have been made in this forecast update. Continued onshore flow will usher in an additional round of marine stratus overnight into Sunday morning as tries to make a run towards Puget Sound. Min temps tonight will range between the mid 40s to upper 50s. The previous discussion remains below: Synopsis A weakening upper ridge and increasing onshore flow will lead to gradual cooling over the weekend to near normal temperatures. This pattern will persist through the early portion of the coming week. Uncertainty in the forecast increases toward the second part of next week. Short Term - Tonight Through Monday Night A little more marine influence and morning high cloud cover has resulted in cooler temperatures around the region as of early this afternoon. Onshore flow will increase further today and this will result in a few more degrees of cooling for Sunday with temperatures right around average for the time of year. The synoptic pattern remains fairly static through the early portion of the coming week with zonal flow aloft and light to moderate onshore flow. This will keep temperatures close to seasonal norms with varying amounts of stratus spreading inland from the coast each night and morning. Long Term - Tuesday Through Saturday The pattern turns a little more uncertain toward midweek. A number of the ensembles attempt to amplify upper ridging over the eastern Gulf of Alaska with a downstream trough moving through British Columbia around midweek. More than half of the solutions generate some shower and/or thunderstorm activity over the North Cascades Wednesday or Thursday with non-wetting rain amounts. The potential for lightning is obviously not an optimum forecast from a fire weather forecast perspective, but it will hold temperatures down a bit. Thereafter, there's better agreement amongst the ensembles that upper ridging will rebuild over the region. Probabilistic heatrisk paints much of the interior lowlands with a 40-60% chance of Moderate HeatRisk by Friday and Saturday with widespread high temperatures well into the 80s. 27 Marine Broad surface high pressure will remain centered over the offshore waters with lower pressure east of the Cascades into next week. This will maintain onshore flow over the next several days and bring diurnally driven small craft advisory strength westerlies to the central and east Strait of Juan de Fuca daily. The push tonight will be a bit stronger with gusts reaching gales at times this evening into tonight. A series of weak systems passing to the north of the area next week will strengthen onshore flow at times for additional risks of gales along the central and eastern Strait. Seas across the coastal waters will primarily persist at 4-6 ft into early next week and may become steep at times this weekend under locally driven winds. Seas will then subside to 2-4 ft by Tuesday, before increasing back to 4-6 ft by midweek. 27/14 Fire Weather Onshore flow has kicked into full gear as marine air funnels in across western Washington. Very isolated areas of critical min RHs are possible in the Cascade zones this afternoon but widespread concerns are not expected - alleviating the threat for elevated fire weather concerns. More benign fire weather conditions will emerge on Sunday and lead into the middle next week. Cooler temperatures and increased moisture with much better humidity recoveries are expected across the region. We're keeping an eye on an upper-trough entering the region around Wednesday-Thursday. Guidance has it positioned mainly towards our north and east but slight (15-20%) Probability of Precipitation are emerging across the North Cascades and can't rule out the probability for a few strikes of lightning. 41 NOAA Seattle WA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories WA...None. PZ...Gale Warning until 3am PDT Sunday for Central U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca- East Entrance U.S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca. |
