Continued storm activity in the south and equatorial Pacific Ocean is pushing long period swells into our area, leading to an increased risk for sneaker waves and rip currents. Stay aware for yourself, pets, and children at the beaches And never turn your back on the ocean!

Stratus remains stubborn over the North Bay and around the San Francisco Bay this morning. Expect steady clearing back to the immediate coast by this afternoon, giving way to sunny skies inland. #CAwx #BayAreaWX
