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
Abalone Campground is the largest and most accessible campground at Sue-meg State Park (formerly Patrick's Point State Park), offering over 70 family campsites set among towering coastal redwoods and Sitka spruce. Located near the park entrance in Humboldt County, approximately 25 miles north of Eureka, the campground provides an ideal base for exploring the park's dramatic coastal headlands, tide pools, and forested trails. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and food storage cupboard to protect from wildlife. The campground accommodates both tents and RVs, with some sites suitable for trailers and motorhomes. Shared amenities include restrooms with coin-operated showers, drinking water faucets dispersed throughout the campground, and a dump station located near the campground entrance. The forested setting provides natural privacy between sites while maintaining proximity to the park's main attractions. From Abalone Campground, visitors have easy access to the Rim Trail system, which follows the coastal bluffs and connects to spectacular viewpoints like Wedding Rock and Ceremonial Rock. Agate Beach, known for semi-precious stones, and the reconstructed Sumêg Yurok Village are within walking distance. The area is excellent for wildlife viewing, with frequent sightings of Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer, sea lions, harbor seals, and migrating gray whales during spring and winter months.
