.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...Inland Low pressure will move
E and NE tonight as a pair of low pressure troughs pass 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 portion of the area. The ridge will
dissipate Wed as a warm front 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 Wed night into Thu.
High pressure will build to the W of the waters Thu night.
