National Water Model Hydrograph
Official NWS streamflow forecasts are produced by NWS hydrologic forecasters for river gauge locations using hydrologic models which are calibrated to that location. This process considers additional guidance and information, including local expertise and experience, to produce the best forecast possible. The NWM output provides supplemental guidance to NWS forecasters and should not be considered an official NWS river forecast.
Flood Impacts
- 22 - Major flooding begins. The Clear Run community adjacent to the NC-411 bridge will begin flooding. NC-411 will be closed west of the bridge. Further downstream there will be significant flooding of properties along Black River Lane north of NC-41.
- 20 - Moderate flooding begins. NC-411 west of the bridge over the Black River will be impassable. Riley Town Road and Wright Bridge Road just west of US-701 near Ingold may be impassable. Lundy Rd will also be impassable northeast of NC-411. Further downstream, water will reach properties along Black River Lane north of NC-41. Evacuations may be needed.
- 18 - Minor flooding begins. Water begins to flood NC-411 about one quarter of a mile west of the bridge over the Black River. The Black River and Great Coharie Creek may be near the road levels on Wright Bridge Road and Riley Town Road near the intersection of US-701 outside of Ingold.
