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
- 19.5 - Bridge Low Cord
- 13 - Extensive overbank flooding likely effecting numerous properties just upstream of the bridge
- 10 - Minor overbank flooding is likely of low-lying properties just upstream of the bridge
