A trough sits over inland WA this morning, with high pressure beginning to build out in the coastal waters this morning. This will keep the flow pattern northwesterly/onshore through next Thursday/Friday before another potential disturbance tracks towards the region. Post trough, a few breezy spots remain out on Smith Island and far in the northern coastal waters. Sustained winds have dropped at or below 20 kt, with gusts not exceeding 25 kt. Given the downward trend in the observations, will allow the small craft advisories to expire at 3 AM this morning in the central/east Strait of Juan de Fuca, and 11 AM for the northern two thirds of the coastal waters/west Strait of Juan de Fuca. The winds will decrease this morning, and will remain benign through the week. The front Thursday/Friday is not expected to produce hazardous winds at this time, but may change as higher resolution guidance becomes available. The seas will decrease from 8 to 10 feet this morning down to 5 to 7 feet Tuesday (periods will increase from 9 seconds to 11 seconds Tuesday). Expect a further drop down to 3 to 5 feet Thursday before increasing back up to 6 to 9 feet on Saturday. HPR (Issued: 233 AM PDT Mon Apr 21 2025 by NOAA)
