Weak high pressure over the area waters early this morning will make way for the next frontal system moving into the waters today into Saturday. Southerly winds will increase across the outer coastal waters this morning and persist at small craft strength through this evening. Several westerly pushes are expected along the Strait of Juan de Fuca this weekend into early next week, likely yielding additional headlines at times. Another system looks to arrive in the region late Sunday into Monday. High pressure then looks to build over the northeastern Pacific on Tuesday. Seas across the coastal waters will generally hover between 3-6 ft through Friday, before increasing towards 6-8 ft over the weekend. Seas then look to build and approach 9-11 ft Monday night into Tuesday. 14 (Issued: 919 AM PDT Fri May 3 2024 by NOAA)
