.SYNOPSIS...A cold front over the southern waters will pass SE of
the area early tonight. High pressure will build E and SE toward
the northern and central waters through Mon while a low pressure
trough persists along the California coast. The high pressure
will then weaken and shift to SW of the southern waters Mon night
into Tue night while the coastal trough weakens. Low pressure
will form over the far northern waters by Tue and move SE to near
Point Reyes and dissipate Tue night while pulling a weak cold
front over the northern and central waters. The front will return
NE and E as a warm front in advance of low pressure that will
approach the NW portion Wed and Wed night. The low will push an
occluded front and cold front into the NW waters Wed night.
