A Strong Pacific System to Impact Much of the Lower 48 this Week

A Pacific system moving ashore today will bring several weather hazards over the next week across the country. Rain and high elevation mountain snow are forecast through Monday for the Pacific Northwest, California, and the Great Basin. Ahead of the system on Monday, increasing winds and low humidity will result in critical to extremely critical fire weather conditions in the Southern Plains. Read More >

Hazardous beach conditions will continue through Monday as long period westerly swell continues to support breaking waves up to 20 feet along west-facing beaches. This will lead to an increased risk of sneaker waves and rip currents, creating hazardous and life-threatening conditions for beachgoers. Breaking waves can sweep people and debris off jetties and docks, and into cold dangerous seas with stronger currents than normal. Follow the safety advice of local officials and never turn your back on the ocean! #CAwx
