.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front extending SW from

while weakening. A warm front will move NE across the NW portion
Sat while the associated developing low pressure center passes
just N of the waters. The low will pull a cold front into the
northern waters Sat night, where the front will briefly stall
into Sun. Another area of low pressure will track E across the
far northern waters Sun and Sun night while pulling the front S
and SE across the northern and into the central waters. The front
will pass S across the southern waters Mon and will pass S of the
area Mon evening. A high pressure ridge will build E towards the
waters Mon and Mon night, as a low pressure trough develops along
the coast. The high pressure ridge will shift slowly S across the
waters Tue through Wed before passing S of the area Wed night. A
cold front will approach the NW waters Tue night, and then will
move SE across the northern and central waters Wed and Wed night.
