.SYNOPSIS FOR WASHINGTON AND OREGON WATERS...A trough and low
pressure center will remain nearly stationary offshore of
Washington and Oregon today. They will then track SE tonight
through Thu ultimately exiting to the S. A high pressure ridge
will cross the area Thu night, then shift S and E of the area
Fri. A broad and complex area of low pressure will approach the
area from the NW Fri, stall just W of the waters Fri night into
Sat, then slowly track back W Sat night through Sun night. The
low will push a cold front E into the waters Fri night. The front
will then stall over the waters, oriented S to N, through Sun
night, as smaller embedded areas of low pressure ride N along the
front. Please continue monitoring the latest forecasts for a
potentially highly impactful low to affect the waters this
weekend.
