.SYNOPSIS FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON COASTAL AND
INLAND WATERS...The ridge over the area will weaken today as a
frontal system moves into southern British Columbia. High pressure
will build back into the region Monday into Tuesday while thermally
induced low pressure expands northward along the Oregon coast.
This will turn the flow weakly offshore early next week. A front
will then move into the area waters on Wednesday followed by
another on Thursday.
