The Summit upper terminal this morning! This is why we appreciate your patience! Here, 180+ mph winds blew out some windows, filling it with snow. We must clear this area before we can start spinning the chair. Video: Jeff Goldstone, Alpine Mountain Manager #palisadesops

NEVER FORGET Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller Today, we honor the life and legacy of Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Sergeant Gutzwiller, who was killed in the line of duty on June 6, 2020. Santa Cruz Police will always have his family, friends, and colleagues Santa Cruz SO in our prayers.

A level 3 evacuation warning has been issued for the entire town of Copperopolis (Population: 3,819) 35 miles east of Stockton, this is a developing dangerous situation, more updates later. #CAwx #WxTwitter #FireWx #CAfire

Thunderstorms remain a risk for the #BayArea and Central Coast tonight through Tuesday. Some thunderstorms may be dry. #cawx

Early signs of potentially major heatwave around 4th of July centered on Northern CA, and this event could bring hot temperatures all the way to the coast (uncommon for early Jul). Early hints at potential for some record-breaking heat & very high grass/brush fire risk. #CAwx

Will extend well into the Santa Cruz Mountains. Expect heat refugees near the coast and PLEASE AVOID FIREWORKS OF ANY KIND.

Please forego the use of fireworks this Fourth of July. The hot and (already) dry conditions will make ignition easy, and rapid fire spread likely. This graphic explains how fires can spread quickly, especially in an area like ours with lots of grass and steep terrain. @CAwx 🔥🔥

🌡️ Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory is in effect now until NEXT Tuesday! Inland high temperatures from the upper 90s to near 110 will result in major to extreme risk of heat related illnesses. Never leave people or pets in vehicles! #CAwx

An exceptionally dangerous situation is underway as we enter a potentially historic and deadly heat event. Heat is the number one weather related killer in the United States. By this weekend, it is VERY LIKELY that we add to that statistic if preparations are not taken seriously.

📃Preliminary Damage Survey Conducted. EF1 tornado observed in Scotts Valley this afternoon, December 14, 2024. The most severe damage was observed along Mt Hermon Rd. Full info: partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov/products/a1fbe… #cawx #scottsvalley
