A weak frontal system is approaching the area from the northwest. Winds through Strait of Juan de Fuca are still at SCA levels but should weaken later in the morning as onshore flow diminishes. A more substantial system will move through the area waters on Thursday. Some uncertainty remains in the extent of its wind field but decided to issue a SCA for the southern most zones of the outer and inner coastal waters where gusts will meet thresholds at the very minimum. A weak surface ridge will momentarily ease wind speeds for Saturday before an active pattern re-emerges Sunday. Seas look to remain 4 to 6 feet at about 10 seconds through the rest of the week and into Saturday. McMillian (Issued: 311 AM PDT Wed Apr 24 2024 by NOAA)
