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
- 23 - Major Flooding continues. Inundation of the Fishing Creek bridge on SC 5 is beginning, forcing closure. The bottom of the bridge deck is reached at 22.898 ft.
- 22 - Major Flooding continues. Fishing Creek is approaching the SC 5 bridge, possibly forcing closure. Fishing Creek is approaching the radar sensor at the USGS gaging station, disabling stage measurements. The Fishing Creek bridge on Old York Rd is likely being overtopped. Significant flooding of Holland Rd is likely.
- 21 - Major Flood Stage. Fishing Creek is approaching the SC 5 bridge. Extensive and significant flooding of adjacent farmland is ongoing. Significant structural and road impacts are likely.
