The forecast level is at the top of the levee. Any persons living or working in areas protected by the levee should take appropriate action and move to higher ground. High tides and strong, onshore winds amplify effects.
65 Severe flooding is expected in the delta area, particularly US Highway 101 in the vicinity of Requa Road, the access road to Klamath Glen, and secondary roads. The forecast level is within 0.5 feet of top of levee. Any persons living or working in areas protected by the levee should take appropriate action and move to higher ground. High tides and strong onshore winds will amplify flooding effects.
64 Severe flooding is the delta area is likely, particularly US Highway 101 in the vicinity of Requa Road, the access road to Klamath Glen, and secondary roads. The forecast level is within 1.5 feet of the top of the levee. Any persons living or working in areas protected by the levee should be prepared to take appropriate action and move to higher ground.

42 Flooding of Highway 101 near Requa Rd, the access road to Klamath Glen, and adjacent low lying secondary roads near the delta is likely. Flooding will be amplified if coincident with high tides and strong onshore winds.
40 Flooding may occur on the access road to Klamath Glen and adjacent low lying secondary roads near the delta. Flooding will be amplified if coincident with high tides and strong, onshore winds.
38 Flooding of lowest lying areas is likely.
