The High Wind Watch has been replaced. Please see the latest information from NWS Eureka CA on this developing situation.

People are urged to secure loose objects that could be blown around
or damaged by the wind.

Remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and
avoid windows. Watch for falling debris and tree limbs. Use caution
if you must drive.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Del Norte County, Humboldt County, Trinity County,
Mendocino County, and Lake County.

* WHEN...Through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...There will be an increased risk of rock and land slides
along roadways. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and streams are
running high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rounds of heavy rain are likely again starting tonight
and continuing through Friday night. An additional 3-6, locally
up to 9 inches of total precipitation is possible through Friday.
There will be breaks in the heavy precipitation, but heavy rain
falling on already saturated ground will promote flooding
impacts. The more widespread moderate to heavy precipitation will
not arrive until Tuesday afternoon.
