.SYNOPSIS FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON COASTAL AND
INLAND WATERS...The ridge over the area will weaken on Sunday 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.
