High surf continues today. Another long period swell builds in this afternoon and breaker heights in the surf zone will peak at 25-30 feet. Use EXTREME caution near the beach and preferably maintain a safe distance. Stay off jetties, rocks, logs and driftwood. They are NOT safe!
There is a high probability (>70% chance) of 6 inches or greater of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, especially above 4000 feet in portions of northern California. Snow levels could also lower to near I-5 at Mt. Shasta City resulting in potential winter weather impacts. Prepare now for winter travel at midweek and be on the lookout for potential Winter Storm Watches and Warnings as details become more clear.
