.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front will slowly drift
SE across the northern waters tonight into early Fri, then
dissipate near the central waters later Fri. Meanwhile, high
pressure across the central and southern waters will slowly
weaken as an area of low pressure approaches the central waters
from the W Fri night. As the low weakens W of the waters Sat and
Sat night, high pressure from the N will expand S across the
region. The high pressure ridge will then slowly strengthen
across the waters Sun through Mon night, then persist through Tue
night. A low pressure trough along the California coast will
remain in place today through Tue night.
