Thereafter, high pressure will build in from the W Thu night through Fri night. A weak warm front will cross the northern waters late Thu night into Fri night. High pressure will then weaken W of the waters Sat and Sat night as a cold front approaches from the NW Sat night. The cold front will move SE across the N and central waters Sun and Sun night, with high pressure rebuilding over the area behind the front. $$ PZZ820-121615- Point St. George to Point Arena between 60 NM and 150 NM offshore- 756 PM PST Tue Nov 11 2025 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...E to NE winds 5 to 10 kt, becoming S to SE.
