707 PM PST Fri Feb 20 2026
.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...Brief ridging and
high pressure will weaken this evening as a warm front lifts N
across area waters tonight. A weak cold front will then move E
before stalling offshore late tonight into early tomorrow. This
front will then surge northward as a warm front on Sat, with an
embedded low rapidly strengthening just SW of waters and moving N
offshore Sat night. This low will bring a strong front across
offshore waters Sat night into Sun. Ridging briefly builds in
from the east Sun night into Mon morning before another, weaker
low pressure system approaches regional waters from the SW
Monday. This feature traverses the waters through Mon night. On
Tue, modest ridging and high pressure return and hold Tue night
into Wed. Mariners should continue monitoring the latest
forecasts regarding this potentially impactful low pressure
system to affect the waters this weekend. The Point Reyes NAVTEX
transmitter remains in a degraded state, technicians are aware
and troubleshooting.
