...FLOOD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK FOR RIVER FLOODING AND SMALL STREAM  
FLOODING ON RIVERS AND STREAMS IN COOS, CURRY, DOUGLAS, JOSEPHINE,  
JACKSON, AND SISKIYOU COUNTIES...  
 
A SERIES OF STORMS WILL BRING HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO OREGON AND  
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED IN  
CURRY AND SISKIYOU COUNTIES WHERE THEY WILL LIKELY SEE 8 INCHES OF  
RAIN THROUGH THE WEEK. RAINFALL RATES COULD BRIEFLY APPROACH UP TO  
AN INCH PER HOUR. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN FROM TUESDAY  
NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.  
 
SOME AREAS MAY EXPERIENCE PERIODS OF SNOWFALL BEFORE TURNING BACK TO  
RAIN. ACCUMULATED SNOW AT LOW- AND MID-ELEVATIONS WILL LIKELY MELT  
AS THE RAIN FALLS WHICH WOULD CAUSE HIGHER RESPONSES IN CREEKS AND  
RIVERS THAN RAINFALL ALONE.  
 
AREA SMALL STREAMS COULD BEGIN TO FLOOD EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE  
COQUILLE RIVER IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE THURSDAY OR  
FRIDAY.  
 
CREEKS AND STREAMS BELOW RECENT BURN SCARS WILL LIKELY BE MUDDY.  
THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING AND DEBRIS FLOWS FROM  
BURN SCARS. WHILE THE ARCHIE CREEK FIRE AND MCKINNEY FIRE BURN SCARS  
ARE NOT NEW, THEY CONTINUE TO BE OF CONCERN DURING HEAVY RAINFALL  
LIKE WE EXPECT DURING THIS EVENT.  
 
USE CAUTION NEAR FLOWING WATER. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.
