.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...A weak high pressure

strengthens to the W of the area. The strengthening low will move

trailing strong cold front will reach the outer waters early Sun,
with the front progressing E and SE over the area during Sun. The
front will reach the coast and pass S of the area by Sun night.
The next high pressure ridge will build E toward the waters Mon,
and slowly drift E over the waters Mon night into Tue. The ridge
will weaken and shift inland Tue night as a warm front approaches
