Impacts: frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation.

Lake County also had a Frost Advisory Sunday morning, with lows as cold as 35 degrees.

Elsewhere on the North Coast

NWS Eureka says high astronomical tides from Monday through Thursday will combine with already high water levels.

That could cause minor to moderate flooding in King Salmon and the Arcata Bottoms, and let waves crash onto the coastal bike path.

On Monday, the tide in Humboldt Bay peaked around 9.1 feet above MLLW, with minor flooding in some locations.
