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
- 20 - State Route 80 begins to flood.
- 19 - Between 19 and 22 feet, homes are flooded along the river.
- 15 - Between 15 to 19 feet, some homes in lower areas are flooded along the river.
- 10 - Between 10 and 15 feet, homes along the river downstream of the gage will start to flood.
