A strong robust area of low pressure will continue to impact the coastal waters this morning as it meanders over the offshore waters. A Storm Force Warning will remain in effect for the coastal waters and the Strait of Juan De Fuca until later this morning to account for wind gusts still around 50 to 60 kts, per recent observations this morning. These winds will decrease but still remain elevated, therefore Gale Warnings will follow in place for the coastal waters, the Strait of Juan De Fuca, and the Northern Inland Waters for the remainder of the day. Combined seas this morning are 25 to 30 feet over the outer coastal waters, with 20 to 24 feet closer to the coastline. Elevated seas are still possible along the Strait of Juan De Fuca where greater fetch combined with the strong easterly wind over the last 12 hours could still potentially generate seas of 7-10 feet. Along with steep seas, severe bar conditions will develop early this morning at Grays Harbor Bar throughout the afternoon, especially around the ebb currents. With large waves along the immediate coast, winds from the east - these factors will contribute for waves to continue to steepen. Seas will start to gradually subside tonight into Thursday morning, but will still remain above 10 feet. A brief break in active weather will be short lived as guidance is signaling another deep low pressure system to spin over our coastal waters into Friday, potentially bringing back high seas (20+ feet) and another round of strong winds.
