[UPDATE 6:31 p.m.] Weather and Roads, Wednesday
Expect the Humboldt Bay area though to experience some flooding due to high tides. High Tide is at 10:09 for the Humboldt Bay North Spit and flooding could begin two hours previously.
Snow is possible down to 3000 feet this morning and 2000 feet this afternoon into the evening, according to the weather Service.
We should have sunnier skies this weekend before another storm next week.

so caltrans is saying 211 will be closed for two days?
People are hopeful that it will reopen after the tides go out today.
There are still road work delays on 36 about 3 miles west of Dinsmore through this week.
Is the Ave closed south Of Phillipsville still?
It was open last night
THANK YOU, KYM.
You’re welcome.
Are the bluffs open now between Redway and Garberville?
I am keeping this post updated with the latest info as it comes in. So, yes, to the best of my knowledge the Bluffs are open.
Just went up evergreen, both that and the bluffs are open right now.
Yay!
Kym, It says Bair Road is open from Hoopa to Stover Rd do you know if the rest of it is closed or is that just stating that last portion to Hoopa is open becuz it was closed before? Thanks for any feedback, if any, on this.
Where is the slide on Maple Creek Road located? Is the Butler Valley Road to Maple Creek Open? Thanks
