.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A weak stationary front will
persist across the far NW waters tonight and Mon. A weak wave of
low pressure will ride NE along the front Mon night, forcing the
front S into the central waters Tue. The front will stall across
the central waters Tue night and Wed. High pressure will build N
of the waters Wed through Thu night, and extend a ridge S through
the waters, while the front across the central waters slowly
dissipates. A coastal trough will develop Wed, then persist
through Fri night. Meanwhile, over the southern waters, high
pressure will remain nearly stationary through Tue night, then
become absorbed by the ridge building S through the northern and
central waters Wed and Wed night.
