Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries...
strong and gusty northwesterly winds will persist for yet another day as the region remains in between high pressure over the eastern pacific ocean and low pressure over the southwest. Gale force gusts will be possible, especially over the coastal waters and southernmost zones. Tonight, a cold front will drop down from the pacific northwest bringing rain and moderate to fresh breezes across the waters. As the low pressure system exits to the east and the pressure gradient is allowed to relax, winds will diminish going into next week.
