.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front over the southern
waters will pass SE of the area 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 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.
