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
- 613.5 - Water is at the top of levee protecting homes in the north and west portions of Martinsville.
- 613 - Water is at estimated height of the March 1913 flood crest or record flood level.
- 612.2 - On the Evening of June 6 and the Morning of June 8 rain of 8 to more than 10 inches fell in Owen and much of Morgan Counties. The rain fell when the ground was already very wet from storms earlier in June and the White River ranged from flood stage in Morgan County to 6 feet over flood stage in Owen County. This effect was disastrous flooding in Morgan and Owen Counties with river levels approaching March 1913 levels from Martinsville area to and including the Spencer area.
