Calistoga Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Beach Hazards Statement issued September 26 at 7:27PM PDT until September 28 at 5:00AM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, moderate coastal flooding expected. For the High Surf Advisory, breaking waves of 4 to 7 feet with dangerous rip currents. * WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. Focused across exposed south facing coasts. * WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through 5 AM Monday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory and High Surf Advisory, from 5 AM Monday to 5 PM PDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate to locally significant beach erosion is likely. Very localized damage possible to most vulnerable areas. There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Areas of most concern are Avalon, Long Beach (Peninsula and Belmont Shore). While the surf will likely be smaller than Marie (from earlier this month), the lingering erosion effects enhances the vulnerabilities for locally more significant coastal flooding.

Beach Hazards Statement issued September 26 at 7:27PM PDT until September 30 at 4:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves of 3-5 feet. Minor tidal overflows possible especially Monday and Tuesday. * WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast. * WHEN...Through Wednesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Pooling of sea water is possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas (including Santa Barbara Harbor). Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. No significant damage is expected. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Locally moderate coastal flooding impacts possible but unlikely for areas such as Santa Barbara Harbor. These impacts may include moderate flooding of sea water over some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Additionally, locally moderate beach erosion is possible.

Lake Wind Advisory issued September 26 at 5:37PM PDT until September 26 at 8:00PM PDT by NWS Hanford CA

* WHAT...West winds 5 to 15 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. * WHERE...Kern River Valley including Lake Isabella * WHEN...Until 8 PM PDT this evening. * IMPACTS...Strong winds and rough waves on area lakes will create hazardous conditions for small craft.

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Calistoga.
