.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front will slowly drift
SE across the northern waters this morning, then dissipate near
the central waters later today. Meanwhile, high pressure across
the central and southern waters will slowly weaken as an area of
low pressure approaches the central waters from the W tonight. As
the low pressure weakens W of the waters Sat and Sat night, high
pressure from the N will expand S across the region. The high
pressure ridge will then slowly strengthen across the waters Sun
through Mon night, then persist through Tue night. A low pressure
trough along the California coast will remain in place today
through Tue night.
