Frost and/or freezing temperatures are expected in the Rogue, Illinois, Shasta, Scott and lower Klamath valleys through Tuesday morning. Lows will reach the teens and 20s east of the Cascades. Take action to protect sensitive vegetation and animals from these cold temperatures. Outdoor plumbing could be impacted east of the Cascades.
There is a moderate risk of sneaker waves along the coast through Monday afternoon! A sneaker wave is a disproportionately large, unexpected wave that surges much further up a dry beach than the waves preceding it. Beaches and shorelines will become dangerous. If you see someone swept into the ocean, do NOT swim in after them! Call 911 immediately and keep and eye on them until help arrives.
