Hydrologic Outlook issued December 29 at 9:26PM PST by NWS Eureka CA
ESFEKA A series of atmospheric rivers will bring an increased risk for urban and small stream flooding late this week and into this weekend. The first round of rain will arrive Wednesday night into Thursday and provide generally light to moderate rainfall amounts. Locally heavy rain is expected in the King Range. This initial period of rain will set the stage for a more intense rainstorm expected to arrive Friday into Friday night. Current indications are for the heaviest rainfall to occur during the day on Friday into Friday night. The greatest risk for small stream flooding will occur during this time period and probably continue into Saturday after heavy rain has ended due to the lag in rainfall run-off. Road closures will be possible. At this point, the area of greatest concern is in southern Humboldt and northwest Mendocino counties. Small rivers, streams and creeks such as Elk river, Jacoby creek and Mattole river could exceed their banks and flood area roads. Southern Mendocino and Lake counties may also experience heavy rain and road flooding will be possible. Mainstem rivers will also likely rise sharply and will need to be monitored for possible flood stage exceedance. Be on the lookout for watches, advisories and warning as this next heavy rain event unfolds. Stay alert and remember to never attempt to drive through water covered roads. Water may be moving much faster than you think.
About
Azalea Campground at Hendy Woods State Park offers a peaceful setting among towering redwoods in Mendocino County's Anderson Valley. The campground features 43 sites arranged in a loop formation on a wooded rise near the Big Hendy virgin redwood grove. Unlike coastal redwood parks, Hendy Woods enjoys warmer temperatures and less fog, making it an ideal base for exploring the area's wine country and natural attractions. Each campsite includes a fire pit, picnic table, and bear-proof food locker. The campground provides restrooms with coin-operated showers, drinking water spigots, and a dump station. Most sites accommodate RVs and trailers up to 35 feet, though no hookups are available. Four sites in the Azalea loop are ADA-accessible. Pets are welcome in the campground but must be leashed and are not allowed on trails. The park protects two virgin redwood groves—Big Hendy (80 acres) and Little Hendy (20 acres)—with miles of hiking trails including a wheelchair-accessible Discovery Trail. The Navarro River runs through the park, offering swimming in summer and kayaking in late winter and early spring. Campers can purchase firewood from the camp host or ranger station, as gathering wood is prohibited to protect the forest ecosystem. The park also features interpretive exhibits, Junior Ranger programs, and campfire programs during peak season.
