Full Advisory Text
Warning Description: Coastal Flood Statement

Warning Date: 5:38 am PST on March 9, 2010

WarningSum:...Higher Than Normal Surf Expected At West Facing Beaches...

Warning Message:A short period westerly swell will cause higher than normal surf
mainly at west facing beaches through at least this evening.
Surf 3 to 6 feet with local sets to 8 feet will develop across
west facing beaches. Winds will diminish some early this morning and
surf at the beaches may dissipate...but by this afternoon and
evening...the surf and swell will increase again as a wind driven
swell increases through the Santa Barbara Channel. This swell will
once again push to the west facing beaches. A potential for strong
rip currents exists with the arriving surf and swell which may
present hazardous conditions to anyone entering the ocean.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
1058 AM PST MON MAR 8 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
THE FIRST PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY
AND BRING THE FIRST SHOT OF VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW
...WITH SNOW LEVELS DROPPING DURING THE AFTERNOON. A SHORT AND
COOLER BREAK PERIOD TUESDAY WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL BRING VERY LIGHT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EVEN TO THE VALLEYS AND BASIN LOCATIONS. A
DRYING AND WARMING TREND WILL RETURN LATE IN THE WEEK.


&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE WELL ADVERTISED STORM SYSTEM IS MOVING THROUGH THE EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE INLAND NORTHWEST LATE THIS MORNING. FOR THE MOST
PART PRECIPITATION WAS LIGHT AND VARIABLE. THE EXCEPTIONS BEING
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST ZONES WHERE RAIN AND SNOW HAVE BEEN FAIRLY
STEADY MOST OF THE MORNING. WE ARE GETTING SOME TROWAL EFFECT
BACK TO THE WEST AS FAR AS THE OKANOGAN VALLEY AND POPS WERE ADJUSTED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS ACCORDINGLY. IN ADDITION WINDS WERE
INCREASED ACROSS THE EAST SLOPES...BASIN AND PALOUSE.

AT THIS TIME THE COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH EASTERN WASHINGTON
AND EXPECT DRYING FROM THE WEST. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY
AVAILABLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO EARLY THIS EVENING TO
SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES. THIS WAS
HANDLED WELL IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AND ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENT
WERE MADE FOR AREA AND TIMING. EXPECT THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS WILL
SHIFT TO THE EASTERN MOUNTAIN ZONES BY EVENING FOR A MAINLY DRY
FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. /TOBIN
