NOTE: Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
River forecasts for this location take into account past precipitation and the precipitation amounts expected approximately 24 hours into the future from the forecast issuance time.
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
- 35 - Water reaches the bottom of the bridge at the gage site.
- 30 - All of Pisgah would be inundated with flood waters as local levees are threatened with overtopping near and above this level.
- 28 - Considerable amounts of farmlands, pasture, and county roads flood.
- 27 - The county road on the right bank may flood near the gage. A storage area for ammonia tanks floods on the outskirts of Moorhead which is 7 miles upstream of the gage site.
- 26 - Water levels at the upper and middle reaches of the river (upstream of the gage) come out of the banks affecting pastures and some farmlands.
