.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A low pressure trough will
persist over the California interior today through Sun night. A
weak low and associated cold front moving slowly SE across the
northern waters this morning will gradually dissipate across the
central waters later today into tonight. A high pressure ridge
will build E over the region today, and drift SE across the area
tonight into Sat. The ridge will weaken over the S waters Sat
night into Sun, then rebuild across the S portion Sun night into
Mon night. A broad area of low pressure and associated cold front
will approach the N waters from the W tonight into Fri. The low
will weaken Fri night and Sat as the cold front moves E over the
area. Yet another cold front will approach the NW waters Sat
night into Sun, then move slowly SE across the N and central
waters Sun night into Mon night while slowly weakening.
