Forecast issued at 5:15 am EST on Saturday 8 August 2020.
Weather Situation
A trough, associated with a complex low pressure system over the state's inland, will cross the coast today and then deepen to form a second low centre near the coast. This second low is then forecast to remain near the coast throughout the weekend, bringing heavy rain to the southern coast and adjacent ranges. On Monday, this low is expected to move north, generating large waves and strong winds for central and northern parts of the coast. Meanwhile, during the weekend, the inland low will weaken to be replaced by a ridge of high pressure.
