Not me ... not the greatest forecast ...

Unsettled westerly stints tomorrow and Saturday. Modest westerlies Friday. Strong Coast southerlies tomorrow and Saturday.

Showers continue tomorrow as a warm and cold front combo rake through. Very unsettled winds may find a window in the afternoon spiking to upper teens, mainly for the Near East or East where conditions are drier. However, winds will generally be lighter. The Coast, though, remains well aligned for stout southerlies yet again. On Friday, we'll have unstable cool air over the region as the upper low passes overhead. However, the North Pacific High will send some isobars up toward the Oregon Coast and skies will clear up somewhat. So, look for some near to faint low 20's peaks for the Near East and East. The Coast loses velocity and runs lighter, SW to WNW. On Saturday, the next system in the very active pattern nears. Look for fair skies for much of the day, but weak ridging keeps winds mild. By the late afternoon, clouds and showers arrive for the Coast, lower Columbia, and maybe the western Gorge. Meanwhile, stiff coast southerlies return and some mild westerly gains are expected for the western half of the Gorge.

Cloudy, showery, and cool. Jones Beach reaching mid teens. Stevenson to Arlington may pick up to upper teens for a brief stint in the afternoon, but this will be short-lived and unsettled. Coast winds will be quite juicy, mid to upper 20's southerlies. W swell 9-10 ft.

Rain eases, but clouds linger for the western Gorge. Westerlies building to low teens for Jones Beach, mid teens for Stevenson, some spotty upper teens for the Corridor, and near to faint low 20's for the Near East. The East reaching some upper teens. North and Central Coast winds ease with sub to low teens SW winds, more NW south of Blanco, but weak. W swell 10 ft.

Fair much of the day. Afternoon clouds spreading in for the Coast and west. Jones Beach reaching mid teens, Stevenson reaching weak upper teens, and the Corridor reaching some upper teen westerly peaks. The Near East and East likely remaining light much of the day, but a chance LATE for some gains. The Coast logs in more low to mid 20's southerlies with sizable W swell 10 ft.
