Eureka, CA — The National Weather Service office in Eureka is alerting residents to a burst of strong winds Saturday morning across Del Norte and northern Humboldt counties, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph possible along the coast and over higher terrain.
Forecasters expect the most intense winds from early Saturday through midday, especially around Crescent City, Klamath, and along Highway 101 north of Eureka. Drivers should be prepared for difficult travel in coastal and mountain passes, with extra caution advised for high-profile vehicles.
By Sunday morning, the breezy conditions are forecast to slide south into Mendocino and Lake counties. Confidence is lower on exactly where the strongest gusts will set up, but overall winds should ease later in the day.
Residents are encouraged to secure lightweight outdoor items and be ready for brief, localized power interruptions in exposed areas. Widespread damage is not anticipated, though a few downed limbs and minor travel delays are possible.
