1. ICE STORM WARNING CENTRAL TO EASTERN GORGE IN EFFECT THROUGH 4:00 AM TUESDAY, NEW ICE ACCUMULATIONS UP TO ONE INCH.

2. HIGH WIND WARNING AT THE COAST 10 PM TONIGHT - 7:00 PM TUESDAY FOR SOUTH WIND GUSTS TO 65 AND POSSIBLY 85 ALONG THE HEADLANDS.

3. WIND ADVISORY I-5 CORRIDOR LATER TONIGHT, STARTING AT 2:00 A.M. TUESDAY - 7:00 PM TUESDAY FOR SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS REACHING 40-50 MPH.

A strong and very wet system arrives Tuesday. The coast could see 60 hour rain totals exceed 4.00 inches and the I-5 corridor will likely see rain totals for the period go over 2.00 inches. The good news is that the push of strong south winds during the day Tuesday will finally scour out all cold air pockets in the gorge, ending the threat of icy weather.

At this current time, rivers are projected to hold below flood stage, but obviously will be watched closely.
