.SYNOPSIS FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON COASTAL AND
INLAND WATERS...Surface high pressure will rebuild over the
northeastern Pacific today. A weak disturbance riding the periphery
of the ridge will promote increased onshore flow tonight into
Saturday. High pressure will build back over the region over the
weekend. A thermal trough will build along the coast early next
week and may briefly turn winds offshore. A weakening frontal system
may approach the area waters on Monday, before high pressure
builds back over the coastal waters Tuesday and persists into
midweek.
