The National Weather Service Bay Area office upgraded their high surf warning to extreme with waves up to 50 feet possible over the weekend. photo credit: Wikimedia/Brocken Inaglory Rain and dangerous coastal conditions are on the way to the North Bay in the next few days. The National Weather Service had already put out warnings for major weather risk at Bay Area beaches this weekend. Now forecasters have raised that warning to extreme. National Weather Service Bay Area Meteorologist Joe Merchant said it's because of a large swell headed towards California from a storm off the West Coast. "With that comes some really dangerous breaking waves," Merchant said. "We're going to see breaking waves up to 25 to 35 feet and it would and occasionally over 50 feet at times." The largest breaking waves could come to locations like Maverick's off Half Moon Bay, where big wave surfers are likely to flock . Merchant said the general public should be extremely cautious at the coast this weekend. "There's really no need to get anywhere near the water," Merchant said. He also noted the recent death of a beach goer near Santa Cruz. "Conditions are going to be deadly on or

The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...
California’s coastline may be about to get a preview of the next half century, compressed into a single winter and delivered by an El Niño that is already pushing the ocean higher than it should be. Patrick Lynett, a civil and environmental engineering professor, laid out the idea...
Temperatures are expected to drop about 10 degrees across SoCal Thursday night and into the weekend, combined with scattered showers.
California’s snow forecast brings a windy Sierra storm Friday into Saturday, with roughly a foot of snow favored at several higher mountain locations. Snow starts dense before turning colder overnight, making this a useful addition to the developing base. Saturday offers easing winds and lingering showers, while another system could add mountain snow Sunday into Monday with less certainty.

SOUTHWEST — A much more active weather pattern is developing across the West, with several Pacific storm systems expected to bring rain, mountain snow, gusty winds, and thunderstorms over the next 7 to 10 days. The first disturbances arrive Friday into Saturday, followed by more systems Sunday through Tuesday. More than 5 trillion gallons of water could fall across California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado during this stretch.

In recent weeks, powerful storms battered the Four Corners region. The San Juan River reached some of its highest flows on record, and the Animas and Dolores rivers each logged their fifth-highest levels. Families in Pagosa Springs, Colo., in Bluff, Utah, and Navajo Nation communities now face months of recovery. Though for some observers, there was at least some hope: after years of drought, perhaps all that water would provide a meaningful boost to replenish Colorado River reservoirs, recharge aquifers, and benefit some wildlife habitat.
Oregon is getting hammered. A powerful atmospheric river swept across the Pacific Northwest this week, bringing flooding, landslides, and heavy coastal damage before the system turned south. Forecasters say another storm system is expected to reach San Luis Obispo County by mid-week, moving into Southern California by Friday, with more behind it.
