Seasonal temps joined by hazardous beach conditions today
Happy Saturday Everyone! Under mostly sunny skies, temperatures will remain near normal for late July, with cool mornings and mild to warm afternoons. The biggest concern this weekend is the Beach Hazards Statement. Long-period swells generated by a distant Hurricane Fausto will create dangerous sneaker waves and strong rip currents along the coast.

Do not turn your back to the ocean
Beach Hazards Statement in effect Saturday morning through Tuesday afternoon. Long-period southwest swell generated by Hurricane Fausto will arrive this weekend. While Fausto poses no direct threat to California, it is sending powerful wave energy toward our coastline. Main hazards: Sneaker waves Strong rip currents Large breaking waves (up to 10 feet at some south and southwest-facing beaches) Dangerous conditions near rocks, jetties and shorelines. DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK TO THE OCEAN! THIS WEEKEND! A classic Bay Area summer pattern continues. The marine layer compresses to around 1,000 feet tonight, meaning: Less inland cloud cover overnight Earlier sunshine inland Saturday Patchy fog mainly along the coast, Russian River Valley, Santa Rosa and Petaluma. Gilroy Garlic Festival: Near or low 90s both days. San Francisco Marathon: Near 60 egrees at the Start, 67 by Noon. Good Luck!

The hazard you need to know about before the weekend
Thursday Temperature Forecast Coastal Areas: Cool conditions ranging from the upper 50s to lower 70s. Bayside Areas: Mild and comfortable temperatures in the 70s. Inland Areas: Warmer conditions in the 80s Hot Spots: The interior southern Central Coast (including Lockwood, Bradley and Parkfield) has the highest chance to clear 100°F. Long-Term Outlook (Friday – Next Tuesday) Weather Driver: A high-pressure ridge over the Southern Plains will shift west toward the Four Corners region over the weekend. Interior Warming: This atmospheric shift will compress the marine layer, triggering a minor warming trend in the far inland valleys. (low - mid 90s over the weekend) Summer Routine: Despite the slight inland warmup, temperatures will hover near seasonal averages with a standard daily pattern of overnight fog rolling inland and burning back to the coast by late morning. A Beach Hazard Statement is in effect beginning Saturday, July 25 through Tuesday, July 28 for sneaker waves and dangerous rip currents.
