Dry and warm conditions are expected through Thursday this week, with periods of gusty south winds along the coast, Shasta Valley and east of the Cascades. A pattern change is expected Friday through at least Monday. A strong front arrives in the region on Friday, bringing strong winds and widespread rainfall to the area. Snow levels will be high, around 6000-7000 ft, so winter impacts will be minimal with the first front. Another front is expected Sunday into Monday, but this one will be less windy and precipitation will be focused in northern California. Snow levels will lower to around 4500-5000 ft, so wintry weather is possible for the highest passes with this system. Stay tuned for updates.
A cold front arrives on Friday, bringing gusty winds across the area. These winds will be especially strong along the coast, into the Shasta Valley, and across the east side. In those areas, these winds may reach hazardous speeds. In these conditions, object may be lifted and carried or tree limbs may break. Precipitation is expected as well. Please use extra caution while traveling in these conditions.
Dangerous high surf is expected along all southern Oregon coastlines and beaches Friday through the weekend, increasing first Friday and maxing out Saturday morning at 30 to 35 feet. Surf heights are expected to decrease to 20 to 25 feet Saturday night, but remain hazardous through Sunday, maybe even into Monday. Use EXTREME caution near the beach. Keep a safe distance from the ocean. Jetties, rocks, logs and driftwood in the surf zone are NOT safe!
