Post-frontal isolated to scattered showers continue across NW California overnight. Rain amounts over the last 24 hours (3AM Wednesday-3AM Thursday) ranged from 0.75 to 1.5 inch with locally higher amounts over much of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, western Trinity and northern Lake counties, with lesser amounts south and east of the CWA. Colder air will continue to flow into Northern California early this morning as a secondary and weaker embedded shortwave trough within the upper trough settling over the West Coast. As of 3AM PDT, Latest radar has a strong line showers along of the advancing cold front approaching from the west. Heavy rainfall moved subsequently along the Humboldt Bay and vicinity.
