You can call it a Christmas Eve quadruple threat -- High Surf Advisory, Wind Advisory, rain showers and patchy morning fog are all in the forecast.
Let's start with that High Surf Advisory, which has been in effect the last couple of days. That continues to impact the coastline, with waves reaching 6 to 10 feet and occasional sets up to 13 feet. With them come strong rip currents and coastal erosion, so use caution and leave surfing to experienced individuals.
Next, the Wind Advisory for the mountains and deserts, which goes into effect 4 p.m. Tuesday and has been extended through 2 a.m. Wednesday. Most sustained winds will be between 25-35 mph, but some gusts could reach up to 60 mph. Some spots in the deserts might see blowing dust as well.
Showers are expected along the coast, inland and in the mountains. Rainfall totals will be minimal, and snow could fall in the higher elevations around 5,000 ft.
Morning fog will persist as well along the coast and inland, and could even make it's way into the mountains Tuesday evening. The fog will stick continue to make it's presence felt west of the mountains just about every morning through the weekend.
Temperatures on Tuesday will be on the cooler side, but will be warmer again by Saturday, especially in the mountains and deserts.
Tuesday's Highs:
Coast: 60-65°
Inland: 63-66°
Mountains: 57-65°
Deserts: 73-78°
