A strong storm system will approach the region on Tuesday, rapidly strengthening as it does so. This will bring strong winds for Del Norte and Humboldt counties Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Sustained winds of 25 to 45 mph are likely, with gusts into the 60 to 70 mph range possible, especially for exposed ridges.
A strong Atmospheric River will bring a prolonged period of moderate-to-heavy rainfall beginning on Tuesday afternoon and continuing into the weekend. The heaviest rainfall is expected on Wednesday with 2 to 4 inches of rain. Persistent rain is expected Thursday through Saturday with 1 to 3 inches of rainfall most likely each day. Excessive heavy rainfall will increase the flooding potential of small streams, low-lying and poor drainage areas. Be prepared and stay tuned to weather.gov/eka/ to the latest weather forecasts.
