High pressure will continue to build over the waters today, with a thermally induced area of low pressure moving up the coast, and advancing inland Friday. A push of westerly winds through the central Strait of Juan de Fuca today may become gusty for small crafts - thus will continue the advisory in place for today. A couple inner waterways (Puget Sound and Admiralty Inlet) as well as the coastal waters may see gusty winds out of the north this afternoon between 15 to 20 kt (chance of winds exceeding this are extremely low). Remainder of the week will keep winds out of the north, with potential for breezy winds in the outer coastal waters this weekend to 15-20 kt. Seas will fall to 6 to 8 feet today, and remain at this level through the forecast period. HPR (Issued: 201 AM PDT Wed May 8 2024 by NOAA)
