ESFMFR An atmospheric river arrives Thursday night and persists through Friday, bringing another round of moderate to heavy rain. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected, with the highest amounts likely in Curry County. This is a slight decrease in rainfall amounts as the focus of the atmospheric river lingers a bit longer to our north before arriving in Douglas County and farther south. Despite the slightly reduced rainfall expected, small streams and creeks are still likely to run high and could result in nuisance flooding along with ponding of water on roadways during periods of heavy rain. Significant rises on mainstem rivers are expected, but the overall concern for widespread river flooding is low at this time due to antecedent dry conditions and minimal snowpack. We will be monitoring rivers in the Coquille and Umpqua Basins for flooding potential. The exact scenario for flooding remains uncertain. This product will be updated as necessary. Watches and warnings may be issued by the National Weather Service if this situation worsens.
Summary
The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 600 and 3000 cubic feet per second (cfs), and the river is rated as a Class III to IV. The segment is approximately 10 miles long and features a series of rapids and obstacles, including the "Picket Fence" and "Green Wall."
The Picket Fence is a Class IV rapid located about halfway through the run. It is a tight and technical drop that requires precise maneuvering. The Green Wall is another Class IV rapid near the end of the run. It is a steep and powerful drop that can be challenging, especially at higher flow levels.
In addition to the rapids, there are also several regulations in place for this area. The use of motorized boats is prohibited, and all watercraft must be inspected for invasive species before entering the water. Additionally, all boaters must wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times while on the river.
