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
- 30 - Record flooding. The flooded area dramatically widens throughout the basin causing historic damage to residences within 1-2 miles of the river. In Dixie County, extensive inundation of homes in Turner Point continues to expand. Water will reach as far west as CR-349.
- 28 - CR 340 floods on the Gilchrist County side. Water continues to affect homes at Rock Bluff Park. In Dixie County, many more homes are affected at Turner Point.
- 27 - Significant flooding begins on the Dixie County side of the river upstream of the CR-340 crossing. Some homes are impacted downstream of the gage site on the Gilchrist County side along NW 67th Terrace.
