trough moves towards the coastline tonight and then persists into
Thu and Thu night along the N and central coast. The ridge W of
the waters will become absorbed by stronger area of high pressure
centered farther to the W and NW of the region Thu night into
Fri, then remains in place Fri night through Sat night while
