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
Mariners Roost Boat-in Campground is a primitive, boat-access only facility located on the main arm of Trinity Lake within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. This remote campground offers 7 campsites designed for visitors seeking a secluded lakeside experience away from vehicle-accessible areas. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, and vault toilets are provided for camper convenience. The campground's boat-access only designation means visitors must arrive by watercraft, making it ideal for boaters exploring Trinity Lake's 145 miles of shoreline. No potable water is available on-site, so campers should bring adequate supplies or be prepared to treat and filter water from the lake. The remote location provides excellent opportunities for fishing, swimming, motorized and non-motorized boating, wildlife viewing, and enjoying scenic views of Granite Peak. As a primitive facility with no fees, Mariners Roost operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required. The campground is open year-round, though winter access depends on Trinity Lake water levels and weather conditions. Visitors should be self-sufficient and prepared to pack out all trash. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
Directions
