Issued 3:49 PM PDT 6 April 2026 A strong pressure gradient will develop today between a ridge of high
pressure over the Pacific Ocean and a low pressure centre moving from
the Alaskan Panhandle to the interior of British Columbia.

northern waters this evening. Northwesterly and westerly gales have
spread to southern waters, including the inner South Coast, and will
continue through the night. Gales will diminish early Tuesday
