NOTE: Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
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 - Record flooding is now possible along most of Crooked Creek in southern Meade County to the Kansas-Oklahoma state line. Floodwaters will rise to 5 feet or higher outside of the main river channel, and substantially cover the floodplain. This flood may approach the record floods of August 31, 1963, and May 20, 1955.
- 11 - Prepare for near-record flooding along Crooked Creek in southern Meade County, as floodwaters 4 feet deep or more course their way downstream to the Kansas-Oklahoma border.
- 10 - Prepare for major flooding of three feet or more along many portions of Crooked Creek in southern Meade County as floodwaters push further out onto the floodplain.
