High Wind in Northwestern Mendocino Interior, California

PG&E weather station on Cahto Peak reported a peak wind gust of 76 mph. Numerous other stations reported wind gusts between 40 and 50 mph with widespread power outages occurring across the region.

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.
