.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A weak coastal trough along the
California coast will persist today then shift inland tonight.
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. 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 dissipating. The coastal trough will
redevelop along the N California coast Wed night and persist
through Thu night.
