A frontal system located just offshore will continue to work its way through the coastal waters tonight into Monday, with increasing onshore flow along with it. Small Craft Advisories continue for the Central and East Entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca through tonight. Winds will drop off quickly as the front passes through the Strait, but will begin to ramp back up to SCA criteria tomorrow morning through the Central Strait, then into the East Strait again tomorrow evening. Winds increase into Tuesday up to 25 to 30 kt as high pressure begins to develop to the west over the open ocean. Gusty winds on Tuesday may bleed into Admiralty Inlet and into the southern side of the San Juan Islands. Breezy southwesterly winds continue tonight through the Puget Sound, in particular for areas around and north of Seattle up to Whidbey Island, lasting into tomorrow as well as the flow turns more due southerly following the frontal passage tonight. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through tomorrow afternoon as winds will begin to taper off then. Breezy southwesterly winds will also continue over the coastal waters tonight as the front progresses through. A few gusts to 25 to 30 kt are possible near and south of Grays Harbor, but will diminish later tonight following the frontal passage. Winds will turn westerly behind the front then northwesterly and slowly decrease as high pressure moves into the region for the middle and end of the week. Combined seas around 7 to 8 feet will slowly build up to near 10 feet by Monday night and will remain around 10 feet into Tuesday. Seas will subside to around 5 to 6 feet Wednesday and remain through the end of the week. LH (Issued: 818 PM PDT Sun May 5 2024 by NOAA)
