.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A weak cold front extending
across the southern waters will dissipate tonight. Farther N, a
surface trough extends across the northern waters and will move
NE through late Sat and move inland by Sat night. Another area of
low pressure centered well W of the northern waters will move SE
tonight into Sat and then cross the waters Sat night into Sun.
The low will drag a weak cold front across the central and
southern waters Sun and Sun 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. Meanwhile, a
weak low will develop along the surface trough Mon and quickly
