.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A trough along the entire
California coast will persist tonight as strong surface ridging
remains anchored W of the waters. A ridge will remain in place
just W of the northern waters through Sat. As a result, the
trough will continue along the N California Coast through early
Sat but gradually weaken along the central and S California
coastline through that time. Thereafter a weak ridge will build
across the waters Sat and Sun, anchoring just NW of area waters
on Monday and remaining through Tuesday.
