076 FXUS66 KSEW 112237 AFDSEW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 337 PM PDT Wed Jun 11 2025 .SYNOPSIS...After several warm days, more seasonable weather is expected over the next week. Temperatures will remain in the 60s and 70s across most of the region. Outside of some light drizzle along the coastal areas, the next noteworthy chance for precipitation will arrive Monday or Tuesday next week. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...Marine stratus burned off mid-day, but mid and high level clouds have spread across the region blunting daytime heating today. The forecast was updated earlier to lower highs today and many areas will struggle to reach 70. Looking forward, general toughing over the region will keep flow onshore Thursday and Friday. Moisture is limited so some coastal drizzle is possible, but otherwise precipitation chances will remain fairly low. Temperatures will remain similar to today`s levels. .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...Strengthening high pressure will allow temperatures to warm slightly over the weekend, while still remaining comfortable and dry. High pressure weakens by Monday & Tuesday, and toughing once again begins to dominate. This period may see slightly better chances for precipitation across the region, though any amounts still appear light. The main threat would be slick road conditions thanks to an extended dry period allowing oils to build up. Otherwise there is little to no indication of any significant hazards over the next week. -Wolcott- && .AVIATION...Onshore low level flow continues across the region below southwesterly flow aloft. A weak upper trough will move toward the region tonight before pushing across the region early Thursday. Low stratus has lifted with variable mid and high clouds across the regionthis afternoon. The exception remains some lower stratus along the immediate coastline. Meanwhile, breezy southerly winds around 10-15 kt are expected into the evening. Stratus will again redevelop this evening to bring MVFR ceilings onshore through the coastal areas towards 04z and into the Puget Sound terminals around 09z through the morning Thursday. KSEA...Variable mid-level clouds through much of the day with breezy southerly wind around 10-15 kt. Stratus likely returns around 09z Saturday but arrives a little higher with ceilings expected in the 010-015 range before lifting 18-20z Thursday. && .MARINE...High pressure remains offshore through much of the week, building eastward into the coastal waters into the weekend. Will continue the small craft advisory for the outer coastal coastal waters due to seas remaining generally 7 to 10 ft with dominant periods remaining around 8 to 9 seconds. With the persistent northerly winds, expect seas to remain elevated and choppy over the outer coastal waters through much of the week. Winds will also remain in the 20 to 25 kt range beyond around 30 nm from shore into Thursday. Meanwhile, a push of westerlies through Strait of Juan de Fuca will maintain advisory strength winds this evening and overnight. Additional diurnally driven pushes will bring increasing winds each of the next several evenings, potentially reaching the 20-25 kt range at times. A weak front will then reach the waters early next week around Monday. && .SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
