***BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT***

The National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazards Statement for an increased threat of sneaker waves and rip currents, which is in effect from 3 PM PST this afternoon through Tuesday afternoon. In effect along the coastline from Sonoma County southward through Monterey County.

-A long period northwesterly swell will bring large breaking waves and an increased threat of sneaker waves and rip currents to area beaches.

Large breaking waves will generate hazardous conditions on area beaches. This threat will be maximized on steeply sloped beaches. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near
shore.

Overnight: Partly to mostly cloudy, with a chance for a light shower. Lows will be in the 30s-40s.

Tuesday: Light rain will work its way into the area around lunchtime, picking up slightly by the evening. The Santa Cruz Mountains look to receive the most, with inland spots not seeing much. Highs mostly in the 50s. Breezy.
 
Extended: Dry weather returns midweek, with more rain chances next weekend.

The outlook from the Climate Prediction Center for January 25th – 31st calls for the likelihood of near normal temperatures and near normal precipitation.
