High Surf

Gusty advisory-level winds are forecast for northern Shasta Valley and southern Rogue valley Friday evening into Saturday morning and for elevated east side terrain late Friday night into Saturday afternoon. A High Wind Warning is in place for the southern Shasta Valley from Friday night into Saturday morning. Gusty winds in these areas can down trees and power lines or lift and carry objects. Driving may be difficult in these conditions, especially for high-profile vehicles.

A potent storm system this weekend will bring the potential for large breaking waves with it to all southern Oregon beaches tomorrow and through the weekend. These breaking waves could reach between 21 and 24 feet. Conditions are expected to calm somewhat on Saturday night into Sunday morning before the next system arrives bringing an even larger swell which will create the possibility of even larger breaking waves from 25 to 30 feet especially on Monday. Confidence on the weekend system is relatively moderate, while the track of the storm system will really help shape the surf forecast for early next week.
