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
- 14 - Water begins to flow over the Dillwyn Road Bridge at the Macksville 8SE river gage on Rattlesnake Creek.
- 12.8 - Flooding reaches the bottom of the bridge.
- 12 - Expect record flooding of 3 feet or more along the Rattlesnake Creek from Gary Creek to the confluence of the Wild Horse Creek as floodwaters move broadly over the floodplain downstream. Most roads near the creek will be impassible... Possibly sections may be washed out.
