.SYNOPSIS FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WASHINGTON COASTAL AND INLAND WATERS...High pressure will remain centered offshore with lower pressure inland through the week. Onshore gradients will ease through the early part of the week as thermally-induced low pressure develops across Western Washington and Oregon. Stronger onshore flow and pushes down the strait look to resume in the latter half of the week as the thermal trough shifts eastward.
