Strong southerly winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 45 to 70 mph are expected through the afternoon. The strongest gusts will be along the North Bay Coast and across ridgelines. Secure loose outdoor onjects that could be blown around or damaged by the wind and use extra caution as winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.
Beneficial rainfall with a slight chance of thunderstorms is expected today. This morning's commute will be wet so be sure to allow extra patience, space, and time when driving and remember to use your headlights! Minor flooding in urban, low-lying, and poor drainage areas is possible. Remember: turn around, don't drown!
A long period westerly swell will result in an increased risk for sneaker waves, rip currents, and breaking waves of 14-19 feet with the highest waves up to 22 feet in favored locations. Stay off of waterside infrastructure and remain out of the water to avoid hazardous conditions and never turn your back on the ocean!
Higher than normal tides are expected this week thanks to a Supermoon taking place on November 5th. The Supermoon brings the highest (and lowest) tides of all and can result in coastal flooding. A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect now through 2 PM PST Saturday. #CAwx
