Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 301am PST Monday Dec 2 2024 Synopsis High pressure will continue to amplify into western Washington into early this week, allowing for dry conditions and periods of morning fog and low stratus. The upper ridge will weaken towards the middle of next week as the next storm system approaches, bringing in the next chance for widespread precipitation across the region. Short Term - Today through Wednesday As of 2am PST, satellite shows widespread fog expanding this morning across the Puget Sound and surrounding lowlands, Chehalis Valley towards Grays Harbor, and over the Hood Canal and through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Locally dense fog has limited visibilities in some areas to a quarter mile or less, and low temperatures near freezing has produced pockets of freezing fog. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for much of the lowlands for pockets of greatly reduced visibility through the late morning. With high pressure firmly in place, expect a foggy commute and for conditions to slowly improve into the late morning and early afternoon. High pressure will continue to build northward into western Washington throughout the first half of this week, maintaining dry conditions and mostly sunny skies with near- normal temperatures. Fog and low stratus will continue to redevelop each morning and linger into the early afternoon hours, with some areas seeing dense or freezing fog. There will continue to be little change to the overall weather pattern day- to-day through Wednesday, with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s and lows near freezing across the lowlands. Long Term - Thursday Through Sunday A pattern change is on track for the second half of this week as the upper ridge weakens and troughing develops over the region. A disturbance will override the ridge on Thursday, set to bring a quick shot of rain to the region with snow levels near 7000 ft. A warm front will lift across western Washington on Friday, bringing in another round of widespread rainfall and warmer air that will bring temperatures into the 50s across much of the lowlands. A cold front will follow close behind on Saturday, maintaining chances for precipitation and bringing snow levels down to 3000-4000 ft. Ensembles favor a slightly drier solution for Sunday with weak ridging building into the region. Rivers will see rises over the weekend with the incoming precipitation, but flooding is not expected. 15 Marine High pressure at the surface and aloft will remain in control through midweek. This will lead to abundant night and morning fog with visibilities below 1 mile at times...especially across the inland waters. The ridge will break down late in the week with the first of a series of frontal systems arriving on Thursday. Stronger systems will follow Friday and again on Saturday with headlines expected for much of the waters. Seas will climb back over over 10 feet across portions of the coastal waters by the weekend. 27 Hydrology River flooding is not expected over the next seven days. NOAA Seattle WA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories WA...Dense Fog Advisory until 10am PST this morning for Admiralty Inlet Area-Bellevue and Vicinity-Bremerton and Vicinity- Central Coast-Everett and Vicinity-Hood Canal Area-Lower Chehalis Valley Area-Seattle and Vicinity-Southwest Interior-Tacoma Area-Western Skagit County-Western Whatcom County.
