Eureka, CA – Rain is expected to return to Northern California's coast late Sunday afternoon, bringing wet conditions to portions of Del Norte and Humboldt counties through Monday, while communities farther south and inland could receive little or no measurable precipitation.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, the incoming weather system will produce its greatest rainfall totals across the northernmost portions of the region beginning Sunday, October 25, and continuing into Monday, October 26.
Northern Counties Could See Up to 1 Inch Forecast rainfall totals range from approximately 0.50 to 1 inch in Gasquet and Crescent City, where precipitation is expected to develop Sunday afternoon and become more widespread Sunday evening.
Farther south, communities including Hoopa and Eureka could receive approximately 0.10 to 0.25 inches of rain.
The Weather Service expects rainfall to continue across portions of the northern coast Monday before gradually diminishing later in the day.
Southern and Inland Areas See Limited Rain Rainfall amounts are forecast to decrease considerably farther south and east.
Weaverville, Ruth and Garberville could receive less than one tenth of an inch, while Fort Bragg, Willits, Ukiah, Lakeport, Clearlake and Cobb currently have no measurable rainfall indicated in the forecast.
This sharp difference in expected totals means residents across the North Coast could experience noticeably different conditions depending on their location.
Wet Roads Possible Sunday Night Into Monday Drivers traveling along U.S. Highway 101 through Del Norte and Humboldt counties should prepare for potentially wet pavement as showers move into the region.
Residents planning outdoor activities Sunday evening or Monday may want to monitor updated forecasts, particularly around Crescent City, Gasquet and Eureka.
