.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A trough along the entire
California coast will persist today through Wed night, as strong
surface ridging remains anchored W of the waters. On Wed night
the ridge will move a bit more to the E towards the northern
waters, then remain in place just W of the northern waters Thu
through Sat. As a result, the trough will persist along the N
California Coast Thu through Sat but gradually weaken along the
central and S California coastline through that time. Any
tropical activity will remain well S of the area.
