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
- 5.5 - Flooding of low lying property becomes more widespread along the right bank upstream and downstream of gage. Water begins to encroach low lying areas west of the highway bridge adjacent to gage. Flooding downstream in sheridan at leopard street and at nb avenue intensifiies and becomes more widespread. Flood wave travel time from gage to sheridan is 4 to 6 hours.
- 5 - Flood stage. Minor flooding of low lying property along right bank upstream and downstream of gage. Water level up to beaver creek road and owl creek road near the gauge and on leopard street in sheridan. Any higher and road closures will be needed and access to some homes is cut off. Flood wave travel time from gage to sheridan is 4 to 6 hours.
