.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...Low pressure NW of
the waters, will move slowly SE and approach the outer Washington
waters today. The low will move SE into the Washington waters
tonight, and then weaken as it nears the northern Oregon coast
Tue. A high pressure ridge will build E into the outer waters
later Tue, with the ridge crossing the region Tue night into
early Wed. Another low will approach the area from the W and NW
on Wed as the ridge moves inland. The low will pull a weakening
cold front over the region later Wed and Wed night, with the
front and low both dissipating Thu as another ridge develops over
the waters. The ridge will drift E Thu night into Fri night as a
warm front approaches from the W and SW.
