San Francisco Bay Area under second consecutive freeze warning, freeze advisory

Temperatures in parts of the San Francisco Bay Area were expected to drop into the upper 20s to mid 30s for the second morning in a row Tuesday, prompting a freeze warning and a freeze advisory.

The Bay Area office of the National Weather Service issued the warning and advisory shortly before noon.

Similar to what happened in the early hours of Monday morning, weather officials said the freeze warning will specifically impact the southern Salinas Valley. The Frost Advisory covers the North Bay Valleys, the interior East Bay, the Santa Clara Valley, the eastern Santa Clara Hills, the northern Salinas Valley, the Hollister Valley, the interior Monterey and San Benito counties, and the Santa Lucia Mountains. Both will be in effect Tuesday morning from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. due to temperatures in the 20s to mid 30s.

The cold temperatures will create “hazardous conditions for unprotected populations and those without access to adequate heating,” according to the National Weather Service. Residents were advised to protect people, plants, pets and pipes.

The cold weather warning and advisory will go into effect once the current wind advisory expires. Offshore winds increased Monday morning, with the North Bay receiving the strongest winds. The advisory was issued for the interior mountains of North Bay from 4 a.m. Monday to 1 a.m. Tuesday due to northerly winds of 30 to 40 km per hour with gusts up to 50 to 80 km per hour.

Stronger winds of up to 66 miles per hour were measured at Mount Helena between Sunday evening and Monday morning, with additional high gusts in the East Bay.

Pacific coast beaches also experienced extended westerly swells, which brought a moderate to high risk of sneaker waves and an increased risk of rip currents. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect in San Francisco on the North Bay coast, including Point Reyes National Seashore, San Francisco Peninsula Coast, Northern Monterey Bay, Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast, until 7 p.m. Monday.
