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
- 12 - Minor flooding continues upstream and downstream along the creek from the stream gage at Georgia Highway 53. Rapid flowing water will be two feet deep over a canoe landing platform just upstream from the gage.
- 10 - Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding begins upstream and downstream along the creek from the stream gage at Georgia Highway 53. Rapid flowing water will begin to flood a canoe landing platform just upstream from the gage.
- 8 - Bankfull conditions are reached upstream and downstream along the creek from the stream gage at Georgia Highway 53. Rapid flowing water will cause a wheel chair assess at a canoe landing just upstream from the gage to be under two feet of water.
