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
- 9.5 - County roads along Milford Creek start flooding, and the pumping station near the Lower Gar Lake outlet begins flooding. Homes along Lower Gar Lake will also begin flooding.
- 8 - Water overtops the culverts leading out of Lower Gar Lake and floods the road.
- 6 - Flooding of pasture lands along Milford Creek begins, and water reaches the bottom of the culverts at the outlet of Lower Gar Lake. Boat docks on Lower Gar Lake will also begin to flood.
