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
Big Flat Camp Ground is a small, developed campground located in the Trinity River corridor of Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Trinity County, California. The campground features 10 campsites that can accommodate trailers up to 22 feet in length. The facility operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a self-registration fee station at the entrance. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables at each site, and fire rings. Campers must bring their own water as no potable water is available on-site. The location offers easy access to fishing opportunities on the Trinity River, which is accessible across Highway 299. The area provides opportunities for day hiking, wildlife viewing, and enjoying the scenic beauty of the Trinity River corridor. The campground is located just off Highway 299, approximately one mile east of the small community of Big Flat. Access is via Wheel Gulch Road, which turns off Highway 299 at a Forest Service sign. The facility remains open year-round, though services remain basic throughout all seasons.
