.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...High pressure W of the waters
will gradually build E into the central and southern waters today
through Wed. A cold front will move S into the northern waters
Tue night, while a second cold front farther S moves E into the
central waters. The ridge will move S away from the area Wed
night as the southern cold front pushes E through the central
waters. The front will then move over the southern waters Thu and
Thu night, before passing SE of the waters Fri. The associated
area of low pressure will move E into the central waters late Wed
into Wed night, then slowly drift SE through the waters Thu into
Fri while gradually weakening. The low will dissipate as it moves
inland along the S California coast Fri night. The coastal trough
will redevelop along the N California coast Wed night and persist
through Fri night.
