.A major atmospheric river is bringing periods of heavy rainfall and 
the potential for flooding in urban and rural areas through Friday. 
Small creeks and streams will see rapid rises and may escape their 
banks. There is a chance of main stem river flooding later in the 
week but for now forecasts remain just below flood stage.  The town 
of Brookings could see impacts along the Chetco River when high 
tides align with the river crest.
