.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...Low pressure centered W of the
northern waters will move quickly NE and then N away from the
area tonight. A cold front extending S from the low will move SE
across the northern and central waters tonight and Fri, reaching
the southern waters Fri night. On Sat, a new weaker area of low
pressure will develop W of the waters. It 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 will move E across the northern waters
Mon through Tue. The low will dissipate late Tue into Tue night
as ridging builds across the area.
