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
- 34 - Flood waters of two feet or more will inundate agricultural land up to a distance of 1/4 mile from the main river channel near the vicinity of the river gage.
- 32 - Prepare for floodwaters to move onto agricultural land adjacent to Pawnee Creek throughout most of eastern Hodgeman County.
- 30 - Expect minor overflows of Pawnee Creek to occur on the first terrace immediately adjacent to the main river channel.
