Synopsis
Cool and unsettled conditions continue across Western Washington this weekend. A system moving southward from British Columbia Sunday will bring the first noteworthy high elevation snow of the season. Drier conditions will return early next week with offshore flow. Typical autumnal conditions return later next week.

Short Term - Tonight Through Tuesday
An upper level trough is passing east through the region today with showers and cooler conditions across the westside. Temperatures are in the low to mid 50s which is around 5 to 10 degrees cooler than average. Showers will mainly impact the interior and Cascades this afternoon and evening then taper down overnight. Expect overnight lows in the 40s.

A second, cooler, system will drop down from B.C. on Sunday for more showers and also mountain snow. The highest snow totals will be in the Cascades and above 4,000 ft where 4 to 10 inches of snow will fall through early Monday morning. Higher totals are possible at Mount Baker and Paradise on Mount Rainier. This will be the first notable snowfall in the mountains this season - hikers and travelers should expect wintry conditions.

Drier weather is slated for Monday and Tuesday as the upper low digs farther south toward central CA. Across western WA, the flow will turn offshore and we could see breezy winds in the north interior with Fraser River outflow. The air mass will be dry and cool Tuesday morning with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s (frost potential). Expect highs around 60 with mostly clear skies. 33

Long Term - Wednesday Through Saturday
Onshore flow resumes on Wednesday as the upper low moves inland and over the Intermountain West. Weak high pressure follows on Thursday but some light warm frontal precipitation may clip the area for a chance of rain. Rain chances increase Thursday night and Friday as a weak frontal system moves inland. Wet weather continues over the weekend as a stronger system moves in. 33

Marine
Increased onshore flow will continue into tonight. A low pressure system will develop along the southern coast of Vancouver Island late Sunday and move southwards along the Coastal Waters Monday. Gale Warnings continue for the central and northern outer Coastal Waters due to increased northwest winds through Sunday morning. Small Craft Advisory winds exist elsewhere for the Coastal Waters. Have issued a Small Craft Advisory for the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca this evening with increased westerly winds. Probabilities of wind gusts of 25 kt peak between 40 to 60 percent, with higher likelihood of gusts exceeding SCA (Small Craft Advisory) threshold for the Strait this evening.

Winds will then transition more northeast Sunday night as the aforementioned weather system slides southwards along the coast. A Gale Watch has been issued for the northern inland waters Sunday night through Monday night for these northeast winds. SCA (Small Craft Advisory) winds are also likely over portions of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Coastal Waters. Furthermore, brief SCA (Small Craft Advisory) wind gusts will need to be monitored for Puget Sound on Monday. Winds will then ease Monday night into Tuesday as high pressure builds back into Western Washington.

Seas will build to 11 to 15 ft tonight. Seas will be steep with a dominant period of 10 seconds. Seas will gradually subside on Sunday. Seas will fall to 5 to 8 feet by late Monday. JD
