Hi David,
I caught this on the National Weather Service's web site:
"Heavy rain, strong winds expected across Pacific Northwest
and northern California
A weather system tapping into subtropical moisture will
bring abundant rainfall to the Pacific Northwest and
northern California through the weekend. The heaviest
rainfall is expected Thursday night into Friday. Rainfall
amounts in excess of 5 in. are possible through Saturday
evening, especially across northern Calif. This system
will also bring high winds to the region, with gusts up to
60 mph.
