Another storm will bring more rain and the chance of “minor flooding” to Mendocino County and beyond beginning Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported.
“Cool and dry weather comes to an end late Wednesday as a storm approaches the West Coast,” staff at the Eureka office of the NWS wrote in their Forecast Discussion prepared for Feb. 11, noting that there was a chance that a “weak disturbance (Tuesday evening could) bring drizzle to southern Mendocino and a dusting of snow to the mountains in southern Lake County.”
Heavier rain is then forecast “to develop Thursday as a surface low moves onshore, (with) the heaviest precipitation focused across the southern half of the area, with the higher amounts in higher terrain areas. Currently, 2 to 3 inches of rain is forecast across Mendocino and Lake Counties. The low pressure system may enhance some rain rates, which could increase the risk of urban and small stream flooding, primarily in Mendocino and Lake counties, but the overall risk looks minor. That said, flooding concerns will be especially elevated in Lake County, with the elevated water level of Clear Lake possibly exacerbating small stream and urban flooding in the area. Otherwise, overall rain amounts pose only minor mainstem river concerns.”
The NWS forecast has “showers continuing across the area Thursday night into Friday morning, (then) ensembles show good agreement (in dry weather) shutting off the precipitation” Friday afternoon into Saturday before the rain likely returns Sunday.
The NWS forecast for the next few days is:
Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of rain, mainly after 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 55. Thursday: Rain. High near 55. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Friday: Showers likely, mainly before 10 a.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Saturday: A slight chance of rain after 4 p.m. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Sunday: Rain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Read More Details
