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
- 20 - Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding will expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level will be around three feet deep in the private residence near the bridge. The garage and driveway will be under five feet of water. Portions of Dixie Road around one quarter mile from Henderson Mill Road will be under three feet of water.
- 17 - Moderate flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road. The water level reaches the foundation of the elevated private residence just upstream and on the left bank from the bridge. The garage and driveway will be under one to two of water. Portions of Dixie Road near a bend in the river...or around one quarter mile from Henderson Mill Road will begin to flood.
- 15 - Moderate flooding begins. Flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields near the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Henderson Mill Road.
