Hazardous Weather Impacts on the East and West Coasts

A cold front will continue to progress eastward today and Friday across the Eastern Seaboard with showers and thunderstorms bringing isolated heavy rainfall, gusty to damaging winds, and a possible tornado. A series of Pacific storms will begin to push into the Pacific Northwest today with impacts from heavy rain and snow continuing through the middle of next week. Read More >

Hazardous beach conditions will be present at Pacific Coast beaches through Monday as long period northwesterly swell brings breaking waves of 12 to 16 feet, along with an increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Waves can sweep across the shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from beaches, jetties, and rocks. Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside infrastructure, remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf, and never turn your back on the ocean!
The Coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect through Friday 11/13 for the San Pablo, San Francisco, and Monterey Bays due to elevated water levels around times of peak high tide. Up to 1.6 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways during times of peak high tides. Low-lying coastal roads, walkways, and docks may experience minor flooding during high tide cycles. Turn Around, Don't Drown: Do not drive around barricades or attempt to drive through water of unknown depth. Take precautions now to secure or protect flood-prone property.
