The NWS has issued an areal flood advisory for much of Klamath County, through
this evening. See below for tons of details and graphics, including regional
rainfall forecasts for the next 24 hours. There is no flood hazard for the
Sprague River but a river forecast graphic is included, just for your
information.

An Areal Flood Warning/Advisory is issued for flooding that develops gradually,
from prolonged and persistent moderate to heavy rainfall.  This results in a
gradual ponding or buildup of water in low-lying, flood prone areas, as well as
small creeks and streams.

Though the associated hazards are relatively low, those traveling today should
pay particular attention for ponding on roadways and reduce speeds.

roads. Find an alternate route.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.
