.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...High pressure will

will then shift to the N and NW of the waters Fri night into
Sat. A coastal low pressure trough along the Oregon coast will
likely persist through Fri. A warm front will approach the outer
Oregon waters from the SW Fri night, and move into or near the
southern Oregon waters Sat and Sat night while weakening and
becoming stationary. The weak front will then slide off to the S
and SE Sun and Sun night as high pressure builds over the area
from the N. The high will remain overhead Mon, and then move
