LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On Thursday the Lake County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services compiled a situation status report on weather, flooding and road conditions relating to the series of storm systems currently passing through the area.

The following information is a compilation of data gathered as of 10 a.m. from local public safety and government agencies charged with monitoring weather and flood related conditions in Lake County, according to Capt. James Bauman.

In Lakeport, minor flooding of the roadway due to the rising lake level has been reported in the areas of Lakeshore Boulevard between Ash and Beach Streets, and in the area of Rocky Point in North Lakeport, Bauman said.

He said several residential streets, including Oak Knoll Avenue, Lily Cove Avenue, Helena Avenue, Lupoyoma Avenue, Konocti Avenue, K Street, E Street and Esplanade are closed due to flooding.

In Kelseyville, Bauman said there are reports of minor flooding from the rising lake level to areas of the Ferndale Resort on Soda Bay Road. Holdenried Road at Hill Creek is closed to all traffic due to a bridge closure.

Also in Kelseyville, the Merritt Road crossing at Adobe Creek is closed, and the Dry Creek Cutoff and Dorn Crossing on Kelsey Creek have both also been closed, he said.

In the Clearlake and Lower Lake area, a minor mud and rock slide has been reported on Highway 53, just north of Highway 29. Bauman said minor flooding and standing water from heavy rains has also been reported in the same area of Highway 53.

In the Cobb and Loch Lomond areas, heavy snow accumulations are reported but all primary roadways are currently open. Bauman said four wheel drive or chains are highly recommended.

In the Northshore communities of Blue Lakes, Upper Lake, Nice and Lucerne, no flooding has been reported, while Bauman said minor flooding has been reported on Lake Street in Clearlake Oaks.

He said a mudslide on Highway 20 between Glenhaven and Lucerne is being cleared, and Widgeon Way between Hillside and Shady Lane is closed due to a slip-out.

Bartlett Springs Road in Lucerne is open but four wheel drive and chains are recommended, he said.

Shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday Clear Lake's water level was 8.87 feet Rumsey. Flood stage is at 9 feet Rumsey, which Lake County Water Resources is predicting the lake will reach by Friday morning, rising to 9.4 feet Rumsey by Monday morning.

Bauman said the Office of Emergency Services will continue to report significant changes in potential flooding and other weather related conditions as they occur.
