The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued multiple weather alerts across California and Hawaii, warning residents of potential hazards. Dense fog advisories, beach hazards statements, and flood watches have been put in place to ensure public safety amidst changing weather conditions.
In the North Bay Interior Valleys of California, a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 10 AM PDT. Visibility is expected to be less than one-quarter of a mile in patchy dense fog, posing hazardous driving conditions. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and use headlights while driving in these areas.
Along the coast of California, a Beach Hazards Statement has been issued for various counties, including San Francisco and Monterey Bay. A long period northwesterly swell is anticipated to increase the risk of sneaker waves and rip currents from Friday evening through Saturday evening. Swimmers and beachgoers are urged to be vigilant, as sneaker waves can unexpectedly surge farther up the beach, and rip currents may be stronger near jetties and piers.
In Hawaii, a Flood Watch is in effect for Kauai County until noon HST. Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible, leading to the closure of flood-prone roads and low-lying areas. Urban areas may also experience significant flooding and property damage due to rapid runoff. An upper-level low and low-level convergent boundary are contributing to scattered thunderstorms northeast of Kauai, which could result in heavy rainfall and potential flooding in some areas.
These weather alerts highlight the importance of staying informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. By heeding the advice of meteorological experts and taking necessary precautions, individuals can mitigate risks and ensure their safety during inclement weather events.
