.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...High pressure will build E
while remaining just W of the area today as a weak cold front
moves SE into the northern waters. The front will likely
dissipate over the central waters tonight or Sun as high pressure
persists just W of the waters. The high will remain just W of
the region Sun night into Mon night. A low pressure trough will
develop near the southern California coast tonight, with the
trough expanding northward to the central California coast Sun.
The trough will persist along the southern and central California
coast Sun night into Wed night, with the trough strengthening by
Mon, with little change in strength Mon night through Wed night.
High pressure will build over the NW portion of the waters Tue
night, with the high persisting over the NW portion Wed and Wed
night. Please be advised that the USCG remote communications
facility at Cambria is experiencing technical difficulties.
Technicians are aware of the problem. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
