😮Wow, just wow. Check out the SSTs. Crazy warm water (65°–75°F+) is surging N from SoCal right into the Central Coast. That means warmer beach nights, elevated tide levels, and wild marine life shifts! #cawx #ElNiño

⚠️Near-critical fire weather in the North and East Bay interior mountains as offshore winds overnight lead to dry humidities, poor overnight recoveries, and potential extreme fire behavior. Remember: one less spark, one less fire! #CAwx

Gusty #SantaAnaWinds will be common region-wide tomorrow through Saturday. Some areas that don't typically see gusty Santa Ana Winds, such as the Los Angeles Basin, may see breezy east winds Friday and Saturday. Plan for power outages and travel delays. #CAwx

We are monitoring swell associated with Hurricane Polo that will bring elevated surf early next week. This may combine with our high tides nearing 7ft to cause additional coastal erosion and localized flooding, especially for south-facing beaches. #cawx

Temperatures across the area look to warm this week with daytime temperatures expected to climb up into the 90s to 100° across the area. Places near the coast will stay cooler but are still expected to see warm temperatures in the coming days. #socal #cawx

Amazing work by our #LACoFD personnel last night. Our members rescued over 100 people - one copter hoisted 21 people from cars, and one engine pulled 20 people from vehicles, two deputies and a dog.
