.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...A cold front will
move SE from the far southern Oregon waters early today. Low
pressure NW of the waters, over the Gulf of Alaska, will move
slowly SE and approach the outer Washington waters later today
into Mon. The low will likely move SE into the Washington waters
Mon night, 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
during 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 as a
warm front approaches from the W and SW.
