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
- 22 - Extensive widespread inundation flooding occurs in the woodlands and fields upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 193. Around three feet of water will cover portions of Georgia Highway 193...Georgia Highway 2 or Patten Road...and Georgia Highway 349 or Happy Valley Road...and the bridge will be completely under water. Extensive erosion to the banks is likely as the water flow hits the bridge.
- 20 - Extensive flooding expands. Widespread flooding occurs upstream and downstream of the gage on the Georgia Highway 193 bridge. Portions of Georgia Highway 193 will be covered with a foot or more of water and the flow will cause extensive erosion to the banks as it hits the Georgia Highway 193 bridge. Nearby fields will be inundated with up to 8 to 10 feet of water. Portions of Georgia Highway 2 or Patten Road...and Georgia Highway 349 or Happy Valley Road will be inundated with water.
- 19 - Major flooding begins. Extensive flooding occurs upstream and downstream of the gage on the Georgia Highway 193 bridge. The water level will begin to cover portions of Georgia Highway 193 and will likely cause extensive erosion to the banks as the water flow hits the bridge. Nearby fields will be inundated with up to 7 to 9 feet of water. Flooding may also occur upstream of the gage on Georgia Highway 2 or Patten Road...and Georgia Highway 349 or Happy Valley Road.
