Hydrologic Outlook issued December 29 at 9:26PM PST by NWS Eureka CA

9:26 PM — December 30th, 2:45 PM

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

Cabin Colony at Hendy Woods State Park provides an authentic rustic camping experience in four basic one-room cabins. Each cabin is equipped with full-size bunk beds, a table, and a wood stove for heating. Located within the 850-acre park, the cabins sit adjacent to the campground area and offer easy access to the park's signature old-growth coast redwood groves. Hendy Woods State Park features two virgin redwood groves, Big Hendy (80 acres) and Little Hendy (20 acres), with trees that may be over 1,000 years old. The park offers five miles of trails, including a wheelchair-accessible Discovery Trail through Big Hendy Grove. Situated in the heart of the Anderson Valley wine district, the park is warmer and less foggy than coastal redwood parks. The park provides year-round camping and cabin access, with the Navarro River running its length. Visitors enjoy swimming in summer, kayaking and canoeing in late winter and early spring, and exploring interpretive exhibits and nature programs. The park is located less than three hours from San Francisco, eight miles northwest of Boonville off Highway 128.
