.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...High pressure will build in
over the N and central waters tonight, then persist over this
region through Sun night. The high pressure will shift S Sun
night as a weak cold front moves S into the northern waters. The
cold front will dissipate over the central waters on Mon. A
trough will form along the central and S California coast on
today into Sun, then gradually intensify and expand N along the N
California coast Sun night through Thu, while high pressure
returns to the N and central waters. By Thu night, high pressure
will slide W out of the waters as a new high pressure begins
to build over S waters. The USCG transmitter at Point Reyes
California is experiencing technical difficulties. Technicians
are aware of the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience.
