A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for inland areas of Humboldt County today until 10 p.m.

Eureka’s National Weather Service office forecasts up to seven inches of snow for areas above 2,000 feet in elevation, making for hazardous driving conditions along stretches of Highway 36, 199 and 299.

“Snowfall is evident this morning at Berry Summit on Highway 299 and Collier Tunnel at Highway 199,” according to the NWS. “A couple of inches has likely already fallen. Meanwhile, isolated thunderstorms and moderate rain have built along the coast. …Additionally, [an] increasing risk of small hail this afternoon can bring unexpectedly icy conditions even to the coast!”

In addition to the snow, 20 to 23-foot waves will be possible along the North Coast today.

“Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks and jetties,” according to a High Surf Advisory issued this morning. “These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable. Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean water. … Beachcombing is highly discouraged!”

Be careful out there, folks!
