Scattered showers continue across the coastal waters in the wake of a dissipated front. A more substantial system will move through the area waters on Thursday. A more substantial frontal system will move into the area early tomorrow. Southerly winds will increase throughout the coastal waters, but the areas with the best chance to see Small Craft Advisory conditions will be in waters south of Point Grenville (50-85% probability, especially within 20 NM of shore). As such, a Small Craft Advisory is effect for Thursday. Additionally, rain will be heavy at times, which will likely reduce visibilities as low as 1-3NM during the heaviest rain. Breezy conditions will continue on Friday for the outermost coastal waters as the low pressure center moves through western Washington. A weak surface ridge will calm things down on Saturday before another front moves through the region Sunday. The active pattern looks to continue into the beginning of next week. Seas look to remain 4 to 6 feet at about 10 seconds through the rest of the week and into Saturday. Seas look to rise to 8 to 10 ft beginning Sunday. LH (Issued: 344 PM PDT Wed Apr 24 2024 by NOAA)
