Gauge reading affected by tides.
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
- 12 - Flooding of historic proportions along the Bay County Coast and in Panama City Beach. Water moving through breaks in the dune line is likely to flood Front Beach Road in numerous places. Some structures along the beach near these dune breaks will flood. Extreme beach erosion due to wave action is expected.
- 9 - Catastrophic flooding along the Bay County Coast and in Panama City Beach. US-98 floods near the Bay/Walton County line. Dune line breaks will lead to flooding of some structures immediately on the beach and approach Front Beach Road. Considerable erosion is likely due to wave action.
- 6 - Significant flooding along the Bay County Coast and in Panama City Beach. Water continues to flood through beach access areas. Significant erosion of dunes are likely due to wave action.
