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
- 25 - Catastrophic flooding along the New River north of Jacksonville. Numerous homes and businesses inundated by several feet of water both north and south of the river. Water backs up small tributaries and severely floods homes in those areas as well. Travel in northern Onslow county is next to impossible.
- 22 - Significant flooding along the New River around Gum Branch. Water inundates homes in the River Bluff, River Hill, and Rock Creek subdivisions. Additionally, along Briar Hollow Drive, Old Beechtree Lane, and Rhodestown Road many homes have water up to thier foundations, while some homes are inundated. Water overtops the bridges on Northwest Bridge Road and Rhodestown Road. Farmland along the river experiences severe losses.
- 20 - Several raised homes are cut off at the end of Forest Bluff Drive. Water threatens homes of South Bluff Circle, Falls Creek Court, Rivers Edge Court, and Old Beechtree Lane. Northwest Bridge Road and Rhodestown Road are likely impassable due to water flowing over the road near the bridges.
