.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front extending S from
low pressure to the N will move E and SE across the waters
tonight. Another area of low pressure will develop W of the
waters Sat, and will slowly move E into the northern waters Sat
night into Sun before weakening into a trough Sun night. The low
will drag a weak cold front across the central and southern
waters Sun night through Mon night. An additional weak surface
trough will extend S from broad low pressure N of the area and
move E across the northern waters Mon through Tue. The low will
dissipate late Tue into Tue night as high pressure builds from
the W. The trough will persist across the N waters Wed and Wed
night.
