Synopsis
A trough will persist near the California coast through Mon night, while high pressure centered to the W and NW of the waters extends a ridge across most of the area. A cold front across the northern waters will weaken and dissipate tonight. Low pressure will approach the northern portions tonight, then move NE across the N waters and inland N of the area early Fri. A cold front associated with the low will move SE across the northern portions Thu, the central waters Thu night and Fri, then finally into the southern waters Fri night while dissipating. Another cold front will approach the area from the NW Sat, weaken Sat night near the outer waters, then dissipate Sun.
