A weak frontal system will move across the area waters today and could bring some breezy southerly winds to Puget Sound this afternoon. HREF probabilities indicate a 15-25% chance of wind gusts exceeding 21 kt, but overall conditions do not look to be widespread, with most wind gusts expected to remain between 10-20 kt. Another push of westerly winds is likely along the central and eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca this afternoon and evening, but winds look to largely remain below small craft strength at this time. A trough of low pressure trailing the front will move onshore on Saturday, with another round of increasing onshore flow expected along the Strait Saturday afternoon and evening. A weak surface ridge will traverse the waters on Sunday, before another frontal system moves into the waters on Monday. Southerly winds will increase across the coastal waters on Monday, and as a result will likely bring the next round of headlines for the area. Onshore flow will increase in the system's wake with Tuesday's push of westerly winds looking like the strongest at this time along the Strait. High pressure will then build back into the coastal waters mid to late week. Seas will generally range between 6-8 ft today and Saturday, and will subside towards 4-6 ft on Sunday. A slight uptick in seas is expected on Monday, but seas generally look to remain below 8 ft through much of next week. 14 (Issued: 322 AM PDT Fri Jun 5 2026 by NOAA)
