An upper-level trough will pass through the region today. Gusty winds affecting small craft continue in the Central/East Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Admiralty Inlet - expected to last through late evening. High pressure will build off the coast during the week, with troughing to the east. With strong northwesterlies translating downward towards the surface, a couple periods of gusty winds are possible in the outer coastal waters Tuesday evening into Wednesday, as well as the central Strait of Juan de Fuca. A stronger push looks probable Wednesday into Thursday for these areas, and again Friday for the coast. Seas will hold around 6 to 8 ft through Friday before increasing 8 to 12 ft from Friday into the weekend. HPR (Issued: 145 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024 by NOAA)
