| Advisory |
| – Fire Watch * https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/ -Warnings/ Advisories (NOAA) Warning: A warning is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action. Advisory: An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are for less serious conditions than warnings, that cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property. Watch: A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible. People should have a plan of action in case a storm threatens and they should listen for later information and possible warnings, especially when planning travel or outdoor activities. * Wind Advisory: Mojave Desert Slopes, San Luis Obispo County Beaches; San Luis Obispo County Inland Central Coast; Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches; Santa Barbara County Inland Central Coast; Santa Lucia Mountains, Antelope Valley, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast; Santa Ynez Mountains Western Range, Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast, Santa Ynez Mountains Eastern Range, Santa Barbara County Interior Mountains, Southern Ventura County Mountains; Western San Gabriel Mountains and Highway 14 Corridor, Western Antelope Valley Foothills, Western Siskiyou County, San Gorgonio Pass Near Banning. * Freeze Warning: Northeastern Mendocino Interior; Northern Lake County; Northwestern Mendocino Interior; Southern Lake County. * Winter Weather Advisory: Southern Humboldt Interior, Del Norte Interior; Northern Humboldt Interior, Frazier Mountain Communities; Grapevine; Tehachapi, Interstate 5 Corridor; Northern Ventura County Mountains. * Special Weather Statement: COLD THROUGH THIS WEEKEND WITH A STRONGER WINTER STORM POSSIBLE NEXT TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY – Greater Lake Tahoe Area; Lassen-Eastern Plumas-Eastern Sierra Counties; Mono; Surprise Valley California. * Flood Warning: San Joaquin, Merced * Flood Advisory: Tulare, Fresno; Kings, Fresno; Madera – Weather (South Bay/ San Jose) * Air Quality in the south Bay Area is Good. * Sunrise – 0706 hrs.
