.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...Low pressure centered N of the
northern waters will move quickly NE and then N away from the
area today. A cold front extending S from the low will move E
and SE across the northern and central waters today, then reach
the southern waters tonight. Another area of low pressure will
develop W of the waters Sat, and will 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 ridging builds
across the area.
