.SYNOPSIS...Brief ridging and high pressure will weaken this
evening as a warm front lifts N across area waters tonight. A
weak cold front will then move E before stalling offshore late
tonight into early tomorrow. This front will then surge northward
as a warm front on Sat, with an embedded low rapidly
strengthening just SW of waters and moving N offshore Sat night.
This low will bring a strong front across offshore waters Sat
night into Sun. Ridging briefly builds in from the east Sun night
into Mon morning before another, weaker low pressure system
approaches regional waters from the SW Monday. This feature
traverses the waters through Mon night. On Tue, modest ridging
and high pressure return and hold Tue night into Wed. Mariners
should continue monitoring the latest forecasts regarding this
potentially impactful low pressure system to affect the waters
this weekend. The Point Reyes NAVTEX transmitter remains in a
degraded state, technicians are aware and troubleshooting.
