Synopsis

High pressure centered over the waters will weaken through Wed. Late Wed night, intensifying low pressure will approach the waters from the SW, then move E across the southern portions Thu and Thu night, moving inland by Fri. High pressure will once again fill across the area Thu night through Fri night. A low pressure trough will develop along the Oregon coast Fri, then gradually extend N to the Washington coast through Sat before weakening Sat night through Sun night. A cold front will approach the area from the W Sat, weaken Sat night near the outer waters, then dissipate Sun. High pressure will again build E across the waters later Sun and Sun night. The ridge of high pressure will slide S and SE ahead of yet another approaching cold front Mon. The front will sweep E and SE across the waters Mon night.
