Summer arrives for Father's day

Father's Day will be pleasant, as a weak ridge of high pressure moves into the region. It will bring sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures away from the coast, though dangerous beach conditions and an upcoming midweek heat spike remain the main long-term concerns. 1. Father's Day Weather • The Forecast: It is looking like a beautiful Father’s Day across the area. A weak, incoming ridge of high pressure is compressing the marine layer, allowing morning clouds to clear out much faster than they did today. • The Temperatures: Inland will climb several degrees higher than yesterday, reaching comfortable highs in the 70s to mid-80s. • The Coast Note: While inland areas bask in the sun, coastal beaches will struggle to see clearing and will remain cool and overcast with only brief clearing.  2. Beach Warning Extended • The Threat: Powerful storms in the Southern Hemisphere are continuing to churn up the Pacific Ocean.  • The Warning: A Beach Hazards Statement has been officially extended through Wednesday afternoon for all Pacific coastlines, especially steep beaches in the North Bay, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties. • Danger: Deceptive sneaker waves can surge dozens of feet up dry sand completely unannounced during long lulls in the surf. Combined with severe rip currents, swimming is highly hazardous. Stay off coastal rocks and never turn your back on the ocean.
