Eureka, CA – Another round of widespread rainfall is heading toward Northern California this weekend, with precipitation chances reaching 100% in several communities Sunday, Nov. 15. Forecasters warn that heavier overnight rainfall could create slick highways, localized flooding and an increased risk of rockslides.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, light rain showers are expected along the North Coast Saturday morning, Nov. 14, followed by a brief period of drier weather during the afternoon.
Rain is expected to return Saturday evening as another cold front approaches, with the heaviest rainfall forecast from late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.
The agency's latest precipitation probability forecast shows Eureka reaching a 100% chance of rain during portions of Sunday.
Other Northern California communities, including Crescent City, Arcata, McKinleyville, Fortuna and Garberville, also face precipitation probabilities reaching 100% during parts of the storm.
The highest rain chances are concentrated Sunday morning, although showers could continue into Sunday evening and Monday morning, Nov. 16.
Forecasters warn that the returning rainfall could produce minor flooding along smaller streams and creeks, particularly where heavier precipitation develops.
Poorly drained roads and low lying areas may also experience temporary water accumulation.
Inland motorists face additional concerns, including slippery pavement, reduced visibility and localized rockslides along mountainous roadways.
These hazards could affect travel across Humboldt, Del Norte and surrounding Northern California counties.
Residents traveling overnight Saturday or early Sunday should remain alert for changing road conditions and avoid driving through flooded areas.
Although precipitation probabilities reach 100% in several locations, those percentages indicate the likelihood of measurable precipitation rather than the amount of rainfall expected.
Showers are forecast to linger into Monday morning before conditions gradually improve.
