Forecasters warned of more high winds headed to the battered Pacific Northwest, while an atmospheric river continued to dump heavy rain on California.
The biggest risk of life-threatening floods was forecast for Thursday, but flooding will remain a threat through Friday, the weather service said.
Landslides and rockslides shut down some or all traffic lanes on highways in Humboldt and Lake counties, the weather service in Eureka, California, said.
Snow is on the way in New York state and Pennsylvania courtesy of “a potent upper-level low swinging over the region,” the weather service said.
The area was under a winter weather warning until 4 p.m. Friday.
