The National Weather Service has lit up with watches, warnings and/or advisories for the next few days. False spring, you have fooled us again!

Looks like we’re getting rain and possibly hail pretty solidly for the next seven days. Snow is going to stick down to 2,000 feet tonight. You’re probably going to need chains if you’re traveling over the hills to the east, and if you’re up there in the backwoods you should watch out for soggy hillslopes collapsing down into the roadway, as they tend to do.

Your Lost Coast Outpost, remember, tracks these NWS alerts, along with forecasts and current weather conditions, right from the comfort of your homepage. Snuggle up to the top-left corner of the site or follow current-to-the-hour updates directly at these links: Eureka, Garberville, Willow Creek.
