High Wind in Southern Lake County, California

PG&E weather stations reported gusts between 50 and 70 mph throughout the northern reaches of Clear Lake including in the towns of Nice and Lucerne, the Robinson Rancheria, and south toward Mt. Konocti. Numerous trees were downed and power was out to thousands of people across the region. Additional strong winds combined with snow led to long duration power outages around Cobb.

A cyclone bombed very close to the central California coast developing widespread damaging wind gusts across Mendocino and Lake counties. Heavy rain also was observed with some of the highest flows on creeks in Lake County in the last several years. The low then moved north off of the extreme northwestern California coast bringing strong gusts into Humboldt and Del Norte counties as well, though damage was limited.
