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
Steiner Flat Primitive Campground sits along the Trinity River in a narrow valley framed by canyon walls covered in Ponderosa Pine, Douglas fir, Oaks, and Madrone trees. The campground offers 8 primitive camping sites suitable for tent camping or small trailers. This clear, cold section of the Trinity River is world famous for its fly fishing and provides excellent opportunities for pleasure boating, swimming, and gold panning. Paddlers can enjoy calm waters in this area, while more adventurous kayakers can head to the waters below Pigeon Point for class III-V whitewater. The river can be accessed from many locations along this stretch. The campground is located about 2.5 miles west of Douglas City via State Highway 299 and Steiner Flat Road. As a primitive facility, amenities are minimal with no potable water available. Visitors should come prepared with their own water and be ready to pack out all trash. The surrounding area offers abundant opportunities for hiking with friends, horses, or dogs, making it a versatile basecamp for exploring the Trinity River corridor.
Directions
Follow State Highway 299 to Douglas City, turn onto Steiner Flat Road and go about 2.5 miles west of Douglas City to the campground turnoff. Campground is near the Trinity River.
