Risk for deadly sneaker waves will increase late tonight through noon Friday. Avoid steep beach, climbing rocks and jetties and stay back from the ocean. Waves may suddenly surge much further up the beach than previous waves. Waves could knock you off your feet and pull you into cold and frigid waters where survival is highly unlikely.
Low temperatures are forecast to trend downward in the coming days, especially this weekend into early next week as a cold airmass moves into the area.
Gusty northerly winds are expected for coastal areas this weekend. Northerly winds will most likely gust from 25 to 35 mph. Gusts this strong could blow around loose objects and may even knock tree branches down. Stronger wind gusts to around 50 mph are probable (70% chance) over the ridges in the King Range and coastal headlands around Cape Mendocino.
