Cold morning temperatures are expected through the week, coldest Sunday and Monday morning. Frost or freezing conditions are possible in the Rogue and Applegate valleys this coming weekend with temperatures in the upper teens to 20s for areas east of the Cascades. Snow showers are possible on Sunday morning in Lake and Modoc Counties with no accumulation expected, but roadways could become slippery in spots. Take actions now to protect sensitive vegetation from these cold temperatures.
There is a moderate risk of sneaker waves along the coast late this weekend into early next week!

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.
