...PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN LOCALIZED
FLOODING IN DEL NORTE AND NORTHERN HUMBOLDT COUNTIES THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON...

.An atmospheric river is impacting the southern Oregon and
northwestern California Coast, and will linger through this 
afternoon. Prolonged heavy rain can be expected as a result, 
causing localized ponding of water on roadways, swollen creeks and
small streams, and rapid rises of main stem rivers across Del 
Norte and northern Humboldt Counties. Precipitation will 
diminish late today, allowing floodwater to recede.
