.SYNOPSIS...A weak low pressure trough will persist just inland
from the California coast tonight through Sun night. A high
pressure ridge will move SE through the central and S waters
ahead of a cold front that will pass over the northern waters
tonight. The cold front will continue pushing SE through the
waters before dissipating Mon. Then high pressure will build in
Mon through Mon night, while a low pressure trough builds along
the California coast. These features will weaken Tue and Tue
night as another cold front will pass over the N and central
waters Wed into Thu before dissipating Thu night. A coastal
California trough will redevelop behind the cold front Thu into
Thu night.
