Gusty SCA winds behind the passing of an upper level trough in the Central/East Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Admiralty Inlet will continue through the late evening. High pressure will build off the coast during the week, with troughing to the east. Strong northwesterlies will translate downward towards the surface, so 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/AL (Issued: 805 PM PDT Mon May 13 2024 by NOAA)
