* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, High astronomical tides
and large surf will cause moderate to major flooding in low
lying areas along the Del Norte Coast, Humboldt Coast and
Mendocino Coast. Up to one half foot of saltwater inundation
above ground level is possible in low lying areas near
shorelines and tidal waterways. Between 9.1 and 9.4 feet MLLW at
the Crescent City tide gauge is predicted. Between 9.8 and 10.1
feet MLLW at the north spit tide gauge is predicted. Between 8.3
to 8.6 feet MLLW at the Pt Arena tide gauge is predicted. For
the Coastal Flood Watch, High astronomical tides and large surf
may cause moderate/major flooding in low lying areas along the
Del Norte Coast, Humboldt Coast, and Mendocino Coast. Up to one
half foot of saltwater inundation above ground level is
possible in low lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...Coastal Del Norte, Northern Humboldt Coast,
Southwestern Humboldt and Mendocino Coast Counties.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 7 AM to noon PST
Friday. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Saturday morning
through Sunday afternoon. High tide is at 8:54 am at PT Arena
tide gauge, at 9:41 am at the Crescent City tide gauge, and at
9:53 am at the Humboldt Bay North Spit tide gauge. Saltwater
inundation will be possible 1 to 2 hours before and after high
tide.

* IMPACTS...Several coastal roads may be closed. Low lying
property and some critical infrastructure will be inundated.
These impacts will include, but not limited to, roadways in
King Salmon and the Arcata bottoms, and sections of highway 1
and 101. Shoreline erosion will occur.

A Coastal Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring or
imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert
for rising water and take appropriate action to protect life and
property.

Feet Above Ground is locally defined as feet above the Highest
Astronomical Tide or HAT.

* WHAT...South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected.
Locally stronger over the higher terrain.

* WHERE...Mendocino Coast and Northern Humboldt Coast.

* WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 10 PM PST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Wind gusts will be particularly strong along windward
ridges.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

* WHAT...South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected.

* WHERE...Lake County, and Southeastern Mendocino Interior.

* WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 4 PM PST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Wind gusts will be particularly strong along windward
ridges. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs
could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Secure outdoor objects.

* WHAT...South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected.
Locally stronger over the higher terrain.

* WHERE...Western Mendocino Interior.

* WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 10 PM PST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Wind gusts will be particularly strong along windward
ridges.

Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high
profile vehicles. Use extra caution.

Feet Above Ground is locally defined as feet above the Highest
Astronomical Tide or HAT.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...A portion of northwest California, including the following
areas, Mendocino Coast, Northeastern Mendocino Interior, Northern
Humboldt Coast, Northern Humboldt Interior, Northern Lake,
Northwestern Mendocino Interior, Southeastern Mendocino Interior,
Southern Humboldt Interior, Southern Lake, Southern Trinity,
Southwestern Humboldt and Southwestern Mendocino Interior.

* WHEN...From Friday afternoon through Sunday evening.

* IMPACTS...There will be an increased risk of rock and land slides
along roadways. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Widespread moderate to heavy rain from two consecutive strong
weather systems will produce 2-4 inches of rainfall Friday
afternoon through late Sunday.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
