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
- 43 - Similar flood contions to flood of record, which occurred prior to the constuction of the flood control reservoirs, was 43.3 feet in April 1927. Evacuations will be necessary.
- 39 - River has not been this high since completion of flood control reservoirs. The river crested at 39.1 feet in April 1945. Most cultivated land in floodplain affected by either inundation or isolation. Many county roads near the river in Prairie, Monroe, and Arkansas counties will be affected. Some state highways will also be flooded. Driving at night is especially dangerous due to flooded roads.
- 35 - River flooding is very serious. Second highest crest since the completion of the flood control reservoirs was 35 feet in May 1973. River Valley is like a large lake. Many secondary roads are flooded. Most cropland in the floodplain flooded.
