| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 351pm PST Fri Nov 13 2026 Synopsis A series of frontal systems will bring a return of widespread rain and occasionally windy conditions through the weekend. A trend toward drier and cooler conditions are expected toward the middle portion of next week as the storm track shifts south of Western Washington. Short Term - Tonight Through Sunday Night A weak frontal system has moved ashore for mainly light rain this afternoon. The tide gauge in Port Angeles is close to minor flood stage and a Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect. A trough will push inland tonight and Saturday, ahead of the next strong Pacific frontal system. Pressure is a little higher Saturday morning and coastal flooding is confined to the San Juan Islands and western Whatcom County during the morning high tide. The main impacts with this second system will be strong winds (coast and San Juans), periods of heavy rain (coast and Olympics), and large waves (coast). Winds will peak Saturday night into early Sunday morning. For precipitation totals through the weekend, we are looking at another 1-3" along the coast with 0.50-1.00" in the interior. Most of the rain will fall Saturday night. Due to additional heavy rain in the Olympics, the Skokomish River is at risk of flooding and a Flood Watch remains in effect. In addition, this system is generating large waves offshore that will reach the WA coast this weekend leading to High Surf conditions. 33 Long Term - Monday Through Friday We're under broad, long wave, troughing Sunday and Monday for isolated to scattered showers. Temperatures will track closer to average with lows in the 40s and highs in the lower 50s. An upper low will shift E/SE and into Oregon midweek, with some light moisture clipping the WA/OR border. A Rex Block pattern forms toward the end of week over the West. This blocking pattern keeps western WA dry through the end of the week. 33 Marine A frontal system continues to move across the interior waters this afternoon. A Gale Warning remains in place through this evening across the Coastal Waters with SCA (Small Craft Advisory) for portions of the interior waters. A brief break early Saturday before southerly winds increase again Saturday ahead of a stronger weather system offshore. A Storm Force Warning has been issued for the outer Coastal Waters Saturday afternoon into Saturday night with gusts of 45 to 55 kts during this period. A Storm Force Watch remains in affect for the inner Coastal Waters. Gale Warnings and Watches are also in affect for the western Strait of Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet, eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca, and northern inland waters Saturday night. Additional headlines may be necessary for Puget Sound and the central Strait of Juan de Fuca with the next system. South winds will ease a bit on Sunday, but remain elevated, especially for the Coastal Waters. Winds subside further Monday into early Tuesday before increasing again going into midweek with a stronger weather system moving southwards well offshore. Seas of 20 to 25 feet are expected into Saturday morning. Seas then range 15 to 20 feet Saturday into Saturday night, building again towards 22 feet for the outer Coastal Waters again Sunday. These large waves will also be energetic with a dominant period of 17 to 20 seconds into Saturday. Seas remain elevated before subsiding to 10 to 15 feet on Tuesday. JD Hydrology The potential for flooding continues on the Skokomish River with periods of heavy rainfall through the weekend. A Flood Watch remains in effect. River flooding is not expected on the other rivers in the area in the next 7 days at this time.
