| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 207pm PST Fri Nov 7 2025 Synopsis Drier and warmer conditions will settle into western Washington over the weekend as high pressure builds overhead. A weak system will bring light rain to the region early next week, with potential for a stronger and wetter system to move into the Pacific Northwest towards the end of next week. .SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As high pressure begins to build inland, shower activity will continue to taper off throughout the afternoon today and skies will continue to slowly break out. Today will give way to typical fall- like conditions with near normal temperatures in the mid 50s and plenty of sun breaks. The weekend will provide more of the same on Saturday and Sunday as high pressure continues to build into the Pacific Northwest, with a slight warming trend allowing temperatures to peak in the low to mid 60s by Sunday. Light overnight winds, ample residual moisture from recent rainfall, and decreased cloud cover overnight are all conducive to areas of fog developing overnight, with the best chances of widespread fog early Saturday morning. Conditions will improve by the afternoon, giving way to cloudy skies with plentiful sun breaks. Long Term - Monday Through Thursday A weak frontal system will cross western Washington early Monday, bringing the next round of rainfall to the region. While much of the lowlands will see light amounts less than a tenth or two, the bulk of the moisture will fall over the northwestern Olympic Peninsula and North Cascades, where amounts could reach half an inch or more. Post-frontal showers may linger into Tuesday with a few degrees of cooling. Forecast confidence decreases into the middle of next week, as a low pressure system is set to deepen along the Pacific Coast and push inland. Active and wet weather is set to return towards the end of next week, but the exact details remain uncertain at this time. 15 Marine Seas remain elevated across the coastal waters and into the west entrance of the Strait of Juan de Fuca today. Expect seas to remain around 15-19 ft at around 12 seconds through the remainder of today, and gradually subside into Saturday. The current advisory for the coastal waters now runs through Saturday morning, with seas likely to reach 10 ft around midday. With building high pressure over the area, expect some light offshore flow to develop across the waters through the day Saturday. This could bring low end advisory conditions with gusts to 25 kt to the western Strait and portions of the coastal waters, especially in the north and west of Grays Harbor where the easterly winds tend to be enhanced. Will hold off on an advisory given the somewhat marginal wind speeds and will continue to evaluate the strength of this. Otherwise, expect a lull in the active pattern continuing into the weekend with high pressure building over the coastal waters. The only exception may be some breezy winds near the western Strait tomorrow with offshore winds developing. Otherwise, a splitting front approaches late in the weekend with disturbances brushing the outer coastal waters on the way to the B.C. coastline. Additional disturbances may reach the waters early next week, though confidence is low in timing any particular period of concern. Hydrology Flood Warning until 5pm PST Saturday for the Skokomish River at Potlach. With just a few showers persisting today and a dry weekend on tap, the Skokomish river will recede throughout the day and will fall below flood stage by Saturday morning. Area rivers have all crested from this last heavy rain event and will also continue to recede. At this time, forecasts show additional systems will move into the area early next week, however rainfall amounts generally look to remain light. The next chance for heavy rain is not until the end of next week and no new flooding is expected for the next seven days.
