.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A complex area of low pressure
will move across the central and northern waters early tonight,
and consolidate while intensifying over the N portion later
tonight and early Thu. An associated strong cold front will move
E across the waters tonight into Thu. The front will reach the
southern waters by late Thu, and pass SE of the waters late Thu
night or Fri. Meanwhile, weak high pressure will drift E over the
far southern waters tonight into Thu, eventually moving SE of the
area Thu night. Thereafter, another high pressure will build in
slowly from the W Thu night through Fri night behind the cold
front. High pressure will then weaken W of the waters Sat and Sat
night as a cold front approaches from the NW by Sat night. The
cold front will move SE across the N and central waters Sun into
Sun night, and reach the S waters late Sun night into Mon with
high pressure rebuilding over the area behind the front Mon and
Mon night.
