PZZ899-051045- 304 PM PDT Sat Apr 4 2026 .SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A weakening coastal trough along the coast of the northern waters will drift W into the area tonight, then stall Sun and Sun night as weak low pressure develops along it. High pressure W of the waters will gradually build E into the central and southern waters Sun through Wed. A cold front will move S into the northern waters Tue night, while a second cold front farther S moves E into the central waters. The ridge will move S away from the area Wed night as the southern cold front pushes E through the central waters. The associated area of low pressure will move E into the central waters late Wed into Wed night, then slowly drift SE through the waters Thu and Thu night while gradually dissipating. The coastal trough will redevelop along the N California coast Wed night and persist through Thu night. $$ PZZ820-051045- Point St. George to Point Arena between 60 NM and 150 NM offshore- 304 PM PDT Sat Apr 4 2026 .TONIGHT...N to NE winds 10 to 20 kt, diminishing to 5 to 15 kt.
