| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 303am PST Monday Jan 18 2021 Synopsis High pressure aloft builds over the region and remains in place much of the first half of the week, though a weak front will clip the area late Tuesday. Another disturbance arrives Thursday. A stronger front likely arrives next weekend with cooler temperatures and lower snow levels. .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...High pressure and offshore flow will lead to dry conditions across western WA through Tuesday. Expect patchy low clouds and fog in the interior this morning with skies becoming partly sunny this afternoon. Highs will be close to normal in the mid to upper 40s. Lows will be chilly overnight and in the 30s. The ridge will flatten over WA on Tuesday while a weak trough cuts through B.C. This trough will clip western WA Tuesday night for a chance of light showers, mainly in the north interior and north Cascades. High pressure rebuilds on Wednesday for another dry day. 33 Long Term - Thursday Through Sunday We'll see another round of showers on Thursday while a cool upper low tracks south down the coast. Precipitations amounts look light with just a few hundredths of an inch over the lowlands. However, snow levels will be low, around 1500-2000 ft, and could see a light rain/snow mix in areas near the Cascades. Cool northerly flow will prevail Friday and Saturday with temperatures trending below normal - highs in the lower to mid 40s and lows in the 20s to lower 30s. The following system on Sunday shows some potential for lowland snow due to low snow levels (around 500-1000ft). Around half of the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) and GFS ensemble members show snow but amounts look spotty and light. NBM at Sea-Tac has a 60% chance of snow but only a 25% chance of seeing accumulations greater than an inch. It'll all depend on timing (snow levels, moisture, temperatures) which is all still uncertain. In any case, snow looks likely but impactful snow amounts seem low at the moment. The threat for more lowland snow continues into early next week as snow levels will remain low, with more systems headed our way. 33 Marine High pressure will remain over the waters through Wednesday. A front will dissipate just north of the area Tuesday night. A weak system will arrive Thursday with high pressure rebuilding again Friday.
