.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/...
The latest forecast remains on track this morning with no
updates. 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.

.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.

.AVIATION...
Near-zonal flow aloft throughout the TAF period. Mostly MVFR and VFR
cigs as of this morning, but there are some locations under IFR cigs
where the heaviest showers have been so far. Winds are generally
southerly, with gusts to 20 kts likely along coastal terminals, but
could extend into areas from PAE north. Fog potential is still there
for the usual locations like OLM and PWT tomorrow morning.
Elsewhere, expect low stratus. Over the next few days as the ridge
builds in, getting more widespread morning fog may be likely.

KSEA...VFR presently with light rain continuing. Oscillations
to MVFR are possible as heavier showers move overhead throughout
the rest of the morning and early afternoon. Winds are
southerly, with the potential, although low, for some gusts up
to 20 kts by this afternoon. Vis and cig reductions are likely
due to low stratus tomorrow morning, with a more noticeable drop
after 12Z.

.MARINE...
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 as the front progresses through the
region this morning.

Starting Tuesday, high pressure will amplify across the Pacific
Northwest including area waters. Over the next several days, the
chances for marine fog and associated visibility reductions will go
up as the ridge builds into the area. 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.
