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
- 17 - Most roads within the Wilson and Rink Creek corridor will sustain significant damage and will be impassable in places with 4 feet or more of water over the roads. Flooding will cause widespread damage to private properties in the area.
- 16.5 - The Wilson and Rink Creek corridor will have 1-3 feet of water over the road to become impassable in places and structures will begin to flood. Power may be cut off from Chase Drive out to Rink Creek.
- 15.5 - Water will begin to flow over Wilson and Rink Creek roads and ditches will be full. Roads will be soft in places and travel across these areas will be difficult.
