.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A coastal trough will persist

the northern waters later tonight and will move S through the

northern and central waters into Sat night while weakening. The

coastal trough will slowly start building over the southern

California coast Sat night and persist through Tue night. Another

low pressure system will approach the northern waters late Sat,

then move E across the N waters late Sat night and Sun while

pushing a cold front across the area. The cold front will

dissipate across the central waters by Sun night. High pressure

will build across the area Sun night, then gradually shift S

ahead of a cold front. The cold front will move SE across the

northern portions Tue, then become stationary near the central

waters Tue night.
