Broad surface ridging offshore with lower pressure inland will remain the general synoptic situation through much of the week ahead leading to varying degrees of onshore flow. Meanwhile, seas remain rather choppy with the persistent winds over the coastal waters. A pair of weak systems passing mainly to the north of the area tonight and Monday will enhance the onshore flow for gales later today in the central/east strait and small craft advisory conditions for adjacent waters as well as the coastal waters. Onshore gradients look to temporarily weaken midweek before additional weak systems increase the onshore flow again later in the week. Seas will build a bit with each passing system to 7 to 9 feet, with periods remaining short, around 8 seconds, through the middle of the week. All in all, this looks very much like a typical late spring/early summer type of pattern. 27/12 (Issued: 1000 AM PDT Sun May 12 2024 by NOAA)
