.FORECAST DISCUSSION: MAJOR FEATURES/WINDS/SEAS/SIGNIFICANT 
.WEATHER FOR THE NORTH PACIFIC N OF 30N AND E OF 150W. 

LOW PRES CURRENTLY ACROSS THE OREGON WATERS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE 
INLAND TONIGHT. STILL EXPECT GALES ACROSS THE OREGON WATERS 
TODAY AND TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST GFS RUN IS SHOWING A 
MARGINAL EVENT FOR THE SE WASHINGTON WATERS. WILL GO AHEAD AND 
KEEP MINIMAL GALES ACROSS THE SE WASHINGTON WATERS FOR EARLY 
TONIGHT.
THE GALES ARE STILL EXPECTED TO SPREAD S INTO THE NRN PZ6 WATERS 
LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. WILL ALSO HAVE GALES ACROSS THE CENTRAL 
AND SRN CALIFORNIA WATERS BY FRI AS STRONG HIGH PRES BUILDS W OF 
THE AREA AND A THERMAL TROF DEVELOPS ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST. 
THE TIMING OF ENDING THE GALES BY SAT NIGHT CONTINUES TO LOOK 
GOOD. CURRENT WARNINGS LOOK REASONABLE AND NO MAJOR CHANGES 
SHOULD BE NEEDED ON THE NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE. ONLY SMALL CHANGE
WILL BE TO HAVE MAX WINDS OF 45 KT ACROSS THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA 
WATERS FRI NIGHT.

THE GFS NOW MOVES AN AREA OF LOW PRES TOWARDS THE NRN PZ6 WATERS 
BY TUE. THE CANADIAN IS NOT SHOWING THIS SYSTEM SO WILL GO AHEAD 
AND WEAKEN THE GFS LOW FOR THE FORECAST.

THE WAVEWATCH MODEL LOOKS REASONABLE AND WILL BE FOLLOWED FAIRLY 
CLOSELY DURING THE FORECAST PERIOD.
