A storm system will bring rain and wind back to our area. The first round of rain will start on Thursday with areas of rain expected through the weekend. |
CONFIDENCE

the overall storm. Moderate for timing and location of the heaviest rain plus
rainfall amounts.
TIMING
· Starting on
Thursday and continuing through the weekend.
LOCATIONS
· The North
Bay is expected to have the highest rainfall totals along with coastal ranges.
IMPACTS
*Hazards:
· No
watches/warnings/advisories in effect at this time.
*Impact 1 (Rain) :
· Rain will
move into the North Bay on Thursday and then progress southward through our
entire area by Friday morning. Rain will then continue through the weekend.
Isolated amounts especially for coastal ranges will likely be even higher.
Urban and small stream flooding is possible especially for North Bay Valley
spots plus intersections with poor drainage. Rain will likely be heavy at times
along coastal ranges.
*Impact 2 (Wind):
· Wind will
increase through the day on Thursday with gusty conditions expected late
Thursday through Friday. Southwesterly winds will locally gust in excess of 40
mph. Higher elevation spots could see gusts over 60 mph.
*Impact 3 (Mairne):
· Hazardous
conditions due to gusty southwesterly winds and building seas.
*Impact 4 (Slick Roads):
· Due to the
extended period of dry weather, the first round of rain will make roads very
slick which could make for much longer than normal commute times. Drive safely!
