.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A weak coastal trough along the
California coast will shift inland early tonight. High pressure
W of the waters will gradually build E into the central and
southern waters tonight 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. 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 and Thu night
while gradually weakening. The low will dissipate as it moves
inland along the S California coast Fri. The coastal trough will
redevelop along the N California coast Wed night and persist
through Fri night.
