.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure will move E and NE tonight as a low
pressure trough passes SE across the waters, and a strong cold
front approaches from the NW. The strong cold front will move SE
over the N and central waters Sun, and reach the S waters Sun
night as low pressure forms near the central California coast.
The front will slowly cross the S waters Mon into Mon night as
the low slides SE along the coast. The low will weaken near or
over southern California Tue as a high pressure ridge develops
over the outer portion of the N waters. The low will likely
dissipate Tue night as the ridge persists over the NW portion of
the area. The ridge will dissipate Wed as a warm front lifts NE
over the northern and central waters. The warm front will pass
inland by Wed night as a strong cold front moves SE over the
region Thu into Thu night.
