.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...High pressure will build SE
toward the central and N waters tonight, then persist to the W
and NW of the waters through Thu night. A coastal trough will
expand northward into the central and N portions tonight through
Thu night. The coastal trough will strengthen over the N and
central areas Wed and Wed night, then become weaker Thu and Thu
night as high pressure weakens W and NW of the area. A cold front
will approach the N waters late Fri, then move into the area and
dissipate Fri night. A strong area of high pressure will build
in from the W and NW late Fri through Sat night as the coastal
trough amplifies.
