A strong front has come ashore this morning causing strong winds and periods of heavy rain. Winds overnight reached 70 mph in some coastal cities and we have received 1-1.5” locally and about 3.5” along the Coast Range. We can expect a few more surges of moderate, occasionally heavy, rain along with some gusty winds during the morning, but not as strong as last night. This will continue through mid morning, then, become more showery around noon. East of us, the Cascades continue to have a Winter Storm Warning and they can expect the snow levels to drop more as the front passes them, down to 2,000’-3,500’. Later today the Coast Range could possibly see a flurry but nothing significant. Thunderstorms are also a possibility as the cold air aloft is quite unstable. So the forecast is for the rain to turn to showers later today, a thunderstorm or two are possible later today and tonight. These showers will continue into Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday. By Thursday the shower activity decreases but this break is brief as another strong system is expected to bring more rain and winds to the coast by Thursday night lasting into Friday with showers Saturday and Sunday.
Advisories, Watches and Warning
-High Wind Warning has been canceled
-Gale Warning until 8pm today for the coastal waters
