An earthquake of preliminary magnitude 5.0 struck off the coast of Northern California on Wednesday evening.
For most people, getting caught in the impact zone, taking waves on the head, is something you try to avoid. That is, unless you work for the U.S. Coast Guard. Drone footage shared by Northern California aerial surf cinematographer DroneGuy650 shows Coast Guard rescue boats taking on towering surf in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rather than retreating to calmer water, the crews steer into the waves. The bows climb steep walls of water, briefly launching into the air before slamming back down.

A ridge of high pressure will produce Santa Lucia winds, clear skies, and unseasonably warm temperatures across the Central Coast through Wednesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day. However, a significant change in the weather pattern will begin Thursday as northwesterly winds return, allowing low marine clouds to redevelop along the coastline.

It's becoming a November to remember as far as our weather goes, and Saturday may have been the nicest day of the month so far. With more sunshine and very comfortable temperatures coming up, Sunday will challenge that - and so will the beginning of the work week. But this isn't a 'no rain November', and there is a little rain near the end of the 10 day forecast, so enjoy the beautiful weather while it's here!
The weather is dry for the moment, but signs across the atmosphere are painting a clear picture for when the first atmospheric river will bring rain to California. As El Niño begins to lock into the atmosphere, it will continue to set up patterns like the one we will see next week, with lower pressure just offshore and a lingering dome of high pressure across the central United States. Patterns like this that hold in place for a week or more are exceptional at squeezing out oceanic moisture in the form of atmospheric rivers – strings of the jet stream that become saturated with relentless rain. And the first of the season for Central California is taking shape for next week. Here we go. Mid-November is looking wet for California.

I am watching for one or two rain events between Nov 11-16. #cawx https://t.co/3tHirsxawj — Sean Macaday (@MacadayWX) November 4, 2026 Several atmospheric rivers likely in mid-November The next seven or so days look quite dry.
