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
- 26 - Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding occurs in the woodlands and fields upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 411 or Georgia Highway 20. The flood waters will begin to affect several structures near the river. The water will be up to 6 feet deep over portions of the public boat ramp parking lot on the downstream and left bank side of the bridge.
- 24 - Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs in the woodlands and fields along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 411 or Georgia Highway 20. The flood waters will approach the foundations of several structures near the river. The water will be up to 4 feet deep over portions of the public boat ramp parking lot on the downstream and left bank side of the bridge.
- 22 - Minor flooding continues to expand in the woodlands and fields along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 411 or Georgia Highway 20. The flood waters will be 1 to 2 feet deep over portions of the public boat ramp parking lot on the downstream and left bank side of the bridge.
