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
Williams Grove Group Camp offers an immersive redwood forest experience within Humboldt Redwoods State Park, home to the largest expanse of ancient redwood forest remaining on Earth. Located along the iconic Avenue of the Giants, this group campground sits among towering old-growth coast redwoods just half a mile north of Myers Flat. The single group site can accommodate up to 60 people and 18 vehicles, making it ideal for large family reunions, scout troops, or organized group outings. The campground provides essential amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and flush toilets. While there are no showers on-site, campers can use the coin-operated hot showers at nearby Burlington or Hidden Springs campgrounds. The South Fork Eel River flows just steps from camp, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, and wading during the warmer months. A seasonal summer bridge across the river connects to miles of hiking trails through magnificent redwood groves and into the backcountry, including access to the famous Rockefeller Forest. This is bear country and all campers must properly store food and scented items. The campground has no electricity, RV hookups, or lighting, so groups should plan accordingly with lanterns and flashlights. The peaceful setting among ancient giants provides a unique opportunity to experience California's coastal redwood ecosystem in a group setting.
