After a calm day Friday, a period of active weather begins on Saturday and Sunday. Cold fronts are forecast to bring widespread rainfall and gusty winds, especially over Curry and southern Josephine counties as well as the Mount Shasta region. High snow levels should minimize snow showers.

A potent storm system this weekend will bring the potential for large breaking waves with it to all southern Oregon beaches tomorrow and through the weekend. These breaking waves could reach between 21 and 24 feet. Conditions are expected to calm somewhat on Saturday night into Sunday morning before the next system arrives bringing an even larger swell which will create the possibility of even larger breaking waves from 25 to 30 feet especially on Monday. Confidence on the weekend system is relatively moderate, while the track of the storm system will really help shape the surf forecast for early next week.
