.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...Low pressure will move E and NE
tonight as a low pressure trough passes SE across the waters, and
a strong cold front approaches from the NW. The strong cold front
will move SE over the N and central waters Sun, and reach the S
waters Sun night as low pressure forms near the central
California coast. The front will slowly cross the S waters Mon
into Mon night as the low slides SE along the coast. The low will
weaken near or over southern California Tue as a high pressure
ridge develops over the outer portion of the N waters. The low
will likely dissipate Tue night as the ridge persists over the NW

lifts NE over the northern and central waters. The warm front
will pass inland by Wed night as a strong cold front moves SE
over the region Thu into Thu night.
