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
- 16.8 - Minor flood stage - minor flooding begins at old village cemetery across river. Several inches of water begin to inundate road at the end of runway. Water likely over bank at other low locations, including the Moon Lake campground about 10 miles to the west. Portions of road along lake will be covered by several inches of water.
