.SYNOPSIS...A warm front will bring rain to the area today with
locally windy conditions. A high pressure ridge will build over
the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, allowing for unseasonably
warm and dry conditions with rounds of morning fog and low
stratus throughout the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...A wet day is ahead as a
warm front moves inland, with rain spreading inland over the
morning. Snow levels remain high around 4000 feet and will rise
to 6000-7000 feet this afternoon. Expect gusty south winds to
20-30 mph across the coast and north interior this morning.
Rain, heavy at times in the Olympics, will keep the Skokomish
River running high and a Flood Watch for Mason County remains in
effect. The warm front will slowly lift north into B.C. tonight
with rain tapering off.

Expect dry weather Tuesday and Wednesday with high pressure over
the region. The air mass will be mild with highs in the 50s to
lower 60s. High astronomical tides are expected but the threat
of minor coastal flooding is low due to higher pressure. 33

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...High pressure
remains in control through the end of the work week for more dry
and mild weather. Lows will be a little cooler and in the 30s
across the south sound both Thursday and Friday mornings. The
pattern changes over the weekend as the ridge shifts inland and
a trough moves in from the west. We`re back to a rainy weather
regime with snow levels lowering again (down to 4000 feet on
Sunday). Ensembles favor a wet and cooler trend moving further into
next week. 33

&&

.AVIATION...Near-zonal flow aloft throughout the TAF period.
Mostly VFR/MVFR cigs currently but isolated LIFR exists around
KOLM where fog has formed so far this morning. Increasing mid to
high clouds ahead of an impending front should erode fog as the
morning progress. However, low cigs/vis under rainfall will
also develop this AM as VFR/MVFR conditions transition to more
MVFR/IFR criteria by 15-16z. Steadier rainfall will break into
showers this afternoon but MVFR/IFR cigs are favored to remain
into the evening. Patchy fog is possible into Friday morning.
Winds will remain out of the south at 5-10 kt with a few gusts
to 20 kt at times along the coast and interior.

KSEA...VFR at the airfield currently. However, MVFR cigs/vis will
arrive between 15-16z as a front brings widespread rainfall to the
area. Rain will transition to showers by midday but low cigs are
favored to remain. Can`t rule out instances of IFR as well under
heavier rainfall and late Monday night into Tuesday morning. Surface
winds will continue out of the south through the TAF period, with a
few gusts near 20 kt Monday afternoon.

.MARINE...This next front is currently over the coastal waters
this morning as it gradually make its way inland. Southerly
winds will pick up as the feature progresses. SCAs remain in
place for the coast and East Strait with Admiralty Inlet and the
Northern Inland waters being added in this morning`s package as
well for winds.

Starting Tuesday, high pressure will amplify across the Pacific
Northwest including area waters. This will lead to a period of
mostly benign conditions as incoming systems get deflected away and
offshore flow will prevail across the area. Breezy winds may persist
across the offshore waters Tuesday and Wednesday but likely just
outside of the outer coastal waters.

.HYDROLOGY...A Flood Watch remains in effect for the Skokomish
River in Mason County. The river crested just below flood stage
this morning but will rise again today due to incoming rain -
cresting near minor flood stage tonight. River flooding is not
expected elsewhere over the next 7 days.
