High pressure/upper-level ridging will continue to build over the Pacific through the week, resulting in northwest flow translating to north/northwest surface winds. Another round of SCA level winds expected in the Strait starting this afternoon and potentially continuing into Thursday. That said, will be issuing a new round of headlines with the morning forecast package. A stronger push is expected to accompany an incoming frontal system Thursday night and Friday which may need yet another set of headlines. Winds expected to ease for most areas, save perhaps the outer coastal waters this weekend into early next week. Seas will hold around 4 to 6 ft through Friday before increasing 8 to 12 ft from Friday into the weekend, reducing to 6 to 8 ft next week. 18 (Issued: 907 AM PDT Wed May 15 2024 by NOAA)
