Oregon
NWS has issued a Flood Watch for portions of southwest Oregon, including the Curry County coast and specifically Brookings, Gold Beach, and the U.S. Highway 101 corridor
Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, the watch is in effect from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon.
Additionally, the NWS Hydrologic Outlook indicates a potential for flooding across Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine, and Lane Counties through Saturday.
A stalled front is expected to bring significant rainfall to the area over the weekend. Heavy rain may result in landslides in areas of steep terrain, as well as debris flows in and near burned areas from recent wildfires.
Debris flows are rapidly moving, extremely destructive landslides. They can contain boulders and logs transported in a fast-moving soil and water slurry down steep hillsides and through narrow canyons.
They can easily travel a mile or more. A debris flow moves faster than a person can run. People, structures, and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk.
