Breezy to windy conditions with the incoming frontal system will keep headlines in the marine forecast for much of today and possibly into Friday. While previous models suggested a brief break in the winds in the Strait this morning, data no longer supports that outcome. As such, decided to not get fancy with the forecast and simply extended inherited headlines to cover at least most of the event expected today. Inherited SCA for coastal waters looks good and will remain untouched. Otherwise, remaining interior waters look to reach into SCA criteria at varying times and have staggered their headlines accordingly. Headlines in the Strait will likely need extension into Friday, but will leave that for following shifts. Winds expected to ease for most waters, save perhaps the outer coastal waters this weekend into early next week. Seas will hold around 4 to 6 ft today before increasing 8 to 12 ft from Friday into the weekend, reducing to 6 to 8 ft early next week. 18 (Issued: 246 AM PDT Thu May 16 2024 by NOAA)
