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
- 11.5 - The river would be near an all time high. Areas along the river that never before experienced flooding will likely be inundated as water levels continue to rise.
- 10.5 - Flood waters will inundate low spots along the river and property damage may become more widespread if further rises occur. Portions of the riverwalk in Farmington will soon be flooded and impassable.
- 9.5 - Minor overbank flooding of low spots along the river from the New Mexico-Colorado border down to the riverwalk in Farmington can be expected.
