.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...High pressure will
persist across the waters today while slowly drifting S. A
coastal trough will persist along the Oregon coast through
tonight. Low pressure NW of the area will move SE today, pushing
a cold front SE through the waters today into Sun night. The low
will follow behind the front, moving SE through the Washington
waters tonight through Sun night while gradually weakening,
before dissipating near the Oregon coast late Mon. High pressure
W of the area will extend a ridge across the waters Mon night.
The ridge axis will move S of the area Tue as a trough develops
along the coast of Washington and Vancouver Island. A weak low
will form along the trough in the vicinity of Vancouver Island
early Tue, remain stationary into Wed, then drift S into the
Washington waters Wed night.
