Northern California residents, brace for wet conditions as a potent weather system approaches. After a frigid start with temperatures in the low to mid-30s, rain is expected to spread across Humboldt and Del Norte counties this evening, persisting through Friday.
The National Weather Service predicts heavy rainfall, particularly in the mountainous terrain near the Oregon-California border, with up to seven inches possible by late Friday. Flooding concerns are growing, especially in saturated areas of Del Norte and Humboldt counties.
Further south, rainfall is expected to be lighter, with the highest chances arriving Friday during a frontal passage. Residents should monitor updates closely, especially in flood-prone areas.
