The severe weather poses significant risks to coastal areas, including destructive surf, sneaker waves, and beach erosion. Sneaker waves can surge unexpectedly, sweeping over rocks and jetties, and have historically caused injuries and fatalities. The large wave runup may dislodge heavy drift logs, creating additional hazards. Inland areas along the Interstate 5 corridor may experience wind gusts up to 40 mph, while higher elevations could see snow levels drop to 3,500 to 4,000 feet. These conditions could disrupt travel, damage structures, and pose safety risks to residents and visitors.
