Aviation Forecast Discussion

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFs: After some morning fog, all TAFs but KMWH/KEAT have
improved to VFR status and are expected to stay that way until
around 09Z. This is when the upcoming system will move in, 
bringing rain to each site. By 17Z, LIFR ceilings are 
anticipated to return to KGEG/KCOE/KMWH. KMWH/KEAT is 
anticipated to have LIFR/IFR conditions through 22Z, then 
improve. Around 09Z, ceilings will lower to MVFR/IFR as rain 
moves in.

.FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND/OR ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Model guidance
getting a better hold on the incoming rain. High to moderate
confidence in ceilings being at VFR until the rain moves through
around 09Z. Moderate confidence in timing of rain. Low to 
moderate confidence in timing for ceilings dropping below IFR at
KMWH. /AS


-----------------------

Confidence descriptors:
Low - Less than a 30 percent chance
Moderate - 30 to 70 percent chance
High - Greater than a 70 percent chance
