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
- 12 - Major flood, widespread flooding of commercial, industrial, and residential areas throughout the Black River Valley.
- 11 - Moderate flood, widespread farmland flooding and road closures all along the river. Some residential flooding in portions of Carthage and Castorland.
- 10 - Flood stage, widespread farmland flooding in the Flats area. Several roads may be closed in Glenfield, Martinsburg, and Lowville.
