Northern California is in for a stormy week as convective showers and thunderstorms rush over the region following a powerful cold front, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Eureka.
Mountain snow is likely at higher elevations such as the Trinity Horn, with heavy snow accumulation, particularly in Scott Mountain Pass.
As rainfall decreases, locations such as Del Norte and northern Humboldt County have reported up to 2.5 inches of rain, while Mendocino and Lake counties have gotten between 0.5 and 1 inch since early morning.
Winds, which reached 50 mph along the coast around Cape Mendocino, have begun to subside but may remain in some southern areas for a few more hours.
Snow levels persist between 4500 and 5500 feet, with accumulation of up to 9 inches in Trinity’s highest altitudes.
A Winter Weather Advisory continues in force, with additional light snow expected through Thursday as temperatures drop, bringing snow levels to roughly 4000 feet.
