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
- 26 - Devastating flooding across central Duplin County with numerous homes and businesses severely inundated. The river becomes several miles wide making travel across the county virtually impossible by vehicle. This is comparable to the flood after Hurricane Florence.
- 23 - Numerous homes and businesses along the river to the west of Beulaville are inundated. The river continues to spread out across central Duplin County making travel nearly impossible on area roads with the exception of NC 24.
- 21 - Water surrounds numerous homes and businesses along the river west of Beulaville, with some homes likely inundated. Travel along local roads becomes increasingly difficult as many small creeks and tributaries overflow onto roadways.
