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

Backwater flooding from Callicoon Creek is extensive and will increase flood damages along Main Street. This level is the record flood of June 2006.
- 16.5 - Flooding affects homes and businesses along River Road and Main Street in Callicoon, especially north of the bridge. Flooding develops in the parking lot of Peck's grocery.
