.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A trough along the entire
California coast will persist overnight as strong surface
ridging remains anchored W of the waters. The ridge will move a
bit more to the E towards the northern waters tonight, then
remain in place just W of the northern waters Thu through Sat. As
a result, the trough will persist along the N California Coast
Thu through early Sat but gradually weaken along the central and
S California coastline through that time. Thereafter a weak ridge
will build across the waters Sat and Sun, anchoring just NW of
area waters on Monday.
