Surface high pressure remains offshore with onshore flow throughout the area waters. Diurnally driven westerly pushes down the strait will continue over the next several days of differing magnitude. Latest guidance has shown more strength in the westerly push tonight, therefore a Gale Warning remains in effect for the Central and Eastern Strait for this evening. Northerly winds also look to increase over the coastal waters this evening along with steep seas, so A Small Craft Advisory also remains in effect well into Monday. Thermal troughing looks to build along the coast through midweek, with periodic increases of northerly winds through the area waters. Combined seas 6 to 8 feet look to increase to 8 to 10 feet by Monday morning. Seas will likely remain elevated throughout the first half of the week.
