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. Flooding never seen before expands further into the woodlands...fields and pasture upstream and downstream from the gage at Stoney Ridge Road. The USGS gage house will be under water causing a data transmittion loss. The water level will reach the bottom of the bridge.
- 18 - Significant flooding expands further into the woodlands...fields and pasture upstream and downstream from the gage at Stoney Ridge Road. The water level will be affecting the bottom of the USGS gage house which may cause a data transmission loss.
- 17 - Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs in the woodlands...fields and pasture upstream and downstream from the gage at Stoney Ridge Road. The water level will be approaching the bottom of the USGS gage house.
