Inland waters of western Washington and the northern and central
Washington coastal waters including the Olympic Coast National
Marine Sanctuary

PZZ100-202230-
229 AM PDT Fri Sep 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON COASTAL AND
INLAND WATERS...Onshore flow will gradually relax today as a weak
surface low in the vicinity of Tofino dissipates and a surface
ridge offshore expands in the coastal waters. The ridge will
remain in place into Saturday, but weaken on Sunday as a frontal
system moves onshore over southern British Columbia. Thermally
induced low pressure expanding northward along the Oregon coast
Monday into Tuesday will turn the flow more northerly or weakly
offshore.
