High surf and light rain in forecast for Halloween, plus smokey skies from controlled burns

MENDOCINO Co., 10/30/22 — A cold front is expected to bring light rain to Fort Bragg, Willits and Ukiah on Monday, Oct. 31, according to a forecast from the National Weather Service in Eureka. Big surf and sneaker waves are expected to arrive Sunday night and remain hazardous on Halloween, so beachgoers are urged to be cautious about holiday festivities near the ocean. 

“It’s Halloween,” said forecaster Doug Boushey. “People will definitely be out.”
