Risk for strong and damaging wind gusts will increase late Tuesday afternoon and persist through early Wednesday morning. Widespread heavy rain will increase the risk for urban and small stream flooding late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Periodic rain is expected to continue into Friday morning before rain tapers off later on Friday into Saturday.

Extended Forecast: Heavy rain and gusty south winds will start again on Monday, leading into a much stronger storm Tuesday night and Wednesday when a powerful atmospheric river moves through Northern California. This system is expected to bring not only heavy rainfall but also strong and potentially damaging winds, with a risk of flooding in low-lying areas, especially near Humboldt Bay and Crescent City. Coastal regions can expect waves of higher-than-normal tides and even storm surge, raising the risk of coastal flooding.
