The atmospheric river that drenched the North Coast and Southern Oregon over the last few days dumped nearly 2 inches of rain on Jack McNamara Field between Thursday and Saturday, according to a National Weather Service meteorologist.

The bulk of the rain — about 1.57 inches — fell on Saturday, meteorologist Edward Swafford told Redwood Voice Community News on Monday.

With the ground already saturated, water runoff brought the Smith River within a half-inch of minor flood stage at the Dr. Fine Bridge on Sunday, according to the National Water Prediction Service. The NWS issued a flood warning for the area near the bridge at 8:39 a.m. Sunday, warning that flooding was likely near the quarry on South Bank Road. That flood warning was canceled at 11:55 p.m., the Del Norte Office of Emergency Services posted on Facebook.
