.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A high pressure ridge will
build over the NW portion today as a low pressure trough weakens
near the California coast. The ridge will shift W tonight as a
weakening cold front moves SE over the northern waters. A
stronger ridge will build NW of the waters Sat and Sat night as a
trough redevelops and strengthens along the northern California
coast. The offshore ridge and coastal trough will slowly weaken
Sun through Mon night. High pressure will rebuild NW of the
waters Tue and Tue night, as the trough strengthens along the
northern and central California coast.
