.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A warm front just N of the
northern waters will advance N and away from the area today. A
complex area of low pressure will move across the central and
northern waters later today into Thu, dragging a strong cold
front E across the waters. The front will reach the southern
waters Thu and pass SE of the waters Thu night. Meanwhile, weak
high pressure will drift E over the southern waters today through
tonight, eventually moving SE of the area Thu. Thereafter, high
pressure will build in 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
Sat night. The cold front will move SE across the N and central
waters Sun and Sun night, with high pressure rebuilding over the
area behind the front.
