MARINE SYNOPSIS: Light southerly winds will begin to turn offshore through
the day as a surface low rapidly intensifies well offshore and
slides southward into Tuesday. Small Craft Advisories will go into
effect this afternoon for the offshore waters then expand over the
coastal waters this evening. Fraser Outflow winds will lead to
strong gusts over the Northern Inland Waters into the Strait of Juan
de Fuca tonight through Tuesday night. Winds look to remain below
gale criteria with the stronger winds being closer to the surface
low well offshore then to our south as the low dives southward.
Winds will gradually ease into Tuesday night as the remaining SCAs
expire for the Strait and Northern Inland Waters.
Seas will increase in part with the offshore winds but look to
remain below 10 feet through Tuesday.
A weak surface trough will move across the area Thursday followed by
a stronger frontal system into Friday, both of which look to bring
another round of Small Craft Advisories to the area waters.
