Beach hazards for sneaker waves & rip currents now continues into the start of the weekend
🌊Beach Hazards Statement continues through early Saturday morning. Long-period S-SW swell will generate hazardous conditions including sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Stay back from the water’s edge, stay off of jetties and piers, and NEVER turn your back on the Ocean!

On June 14, SMFD crews, alongside Marin County Fire, NPS, Central Marin Fire, Tiburon Fire, and CHP, quickly contained a vegetation fire in the Marin Headlands to 2.57 acres. Thanks to all responding agencies for their teamwork and rapid response. #MutualAid #MarinHeadlands

SMFD crews quickly contained a structure fire in Mill Valley. The cause was determined to be a residential clothes dryer. Remember:
✔️ Clean lint screens after every load
✔️ Inspect dryer vents regularly
✔️ Follow appliance maintenance recommendations
Small steps prevent fires.

One of a series of fires yesterday in Lake County, the #TrailFire scorched 30 acres. Veg fires are year ‘round in #CAwx. For early June in NorCal though, the frequency and acreage is alarming. #kentporterphotography #photojournalism @NorthBayNews

We have a new sea level record for San Francisco in “meteorological Summer (June-July-August). How warmer than average ocean temperatures and an intense long period southerly swell are contributing conditions in June similar to what we see in Winter. Dangerous surf potential continues through midweek 6/15/2026 @nbcbayarea

California generated more renewable energy than its grid could use this spring. The result: a record 1.46 million MWh of curtailed wind and solar power in April. New analysis from Professor Lucas Davis explains why curtailment happens—and what it reveals.

This record was broken again last night with 1.97 ft above a normal high tide. That should be the peak of this event, but similar impacts are expected over the next couple nights. #CAwx

We have a @MetCS_SJSU super student status achieved on his first weekend at @nbcbayarea Luis Ocampo designed his own banners, fonts, forecast maps, playlists and data sets in the WSI MaxCloud/TruVu Max system. But to master WSI in a weekend is on another level. Bravo, Luis!
