Kathleen Zontos, a hydrologist from the National Weather Service in Eureka, said “We’re looking at a major storm system. … It is kind of rare because it is intensifying so quickly. We are seeing gusts near 50 mph.”Wild-looking radar loop to match the wild weather the North Coast is seeing this evening. Believe it or not, for the Humboldt coast in particular, the strongest winds are expected 7-9 PM. As opposed to the south & southwest winds now, those winds will be westerly. #cawx pic.twitter.com/q3NJbYAytU
