.SYNOPSIS...A low pressure trough will persist along the
California coast today before dissipating tonight. High pressure
will continue to build into the N and central waters today and
weaken tonight. A stationary front over the northern waters today
will begin to retreat N-NE tonight as a warm front. A stronger
complex low pressure system will pass by to the NW of the waters
Wed and Wed night, dragging a strong cold front E across the
waters. The front will reach the southern waters Thu and pass SE
of the waters Thu night. Meanwhile, over the southern waters,
weak high pressure over the waters will drift W today, then drift
back E across the southern waters tonight through Wed night,
eventually moving SE of the area Thu. Thereafter, high pressure
will build in from the W Thu night through Fri night. A weak warm
front will cross the northern waters late Thu night into Fri
night. High pressure will then weaken W of the waters Sat and Sat
night as a cold front approaches from the NW Sat night.
