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
- 15 - Major flooding continues to expand further into the residential yards and woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage at Millwood Way. The water will be up to 7 feet deep in the yards and flood outdoor storage sheds. The water will be around two feet deep over a portion of Millwood Way and begin to flood some driveways and a few homes. The road above the culvert will form an obstacle and act like a dam causing backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the road.
- 14 - Major flooding begins and expands further into the residential yards and woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage at Millwood Way. The water will be up to 6 feet deep in the yards and flood outdoor storage sheds. The water will be around one foot deep over a portion of Millwood Way and begin to flood some driveways and reach foundations of a few homes. The road above the culvert will form an obstacle and act like a dam causing backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the road.
- 13 - Significant flooding expands further into the residential yards and woodlands upstream and downstream from the stream gage at Millwood Way. The water will be up to 5 feet deep in portions of the yards and flood outdoor storage sheds. The water level will begin to cover a portion of Millwood Way. The road above the culvert will form an obstacle and act like a dam causing backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the culvert and road.
