Northwest winds have diminished, but continue with stronger gusts
this morning with squared seas around 11 to 13 feet at 11 to 13
seconds. A large storm classified as an atmospheric river
approaches the Bay Area that will drastically shift winds to the
south to southwest later this morning along its leading front
before storm force winds develop Tuesday afternoon across the
northern waters then expand southward by late Tuesday. Heavy rain
is expected and occasional thunder is possible with the atmospheric
river. Strong south to southwest winds and very steep southerly
seas at 7 to 9 seconds will result in hazardous conditions across
the coastal waters through mid- week. Extreme caution is advised.
