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
- 20.5 - On SW 48th Road just west of the creek gage bridge, the low spot on road floods with about half a foot of water. Parts of SW 36th Road flood near the creek.
- 19 - Low lying portions of fields begin to flood. South Emma Creek Rd will flood from SW 36th to SW 48th St. Just to the east of Emma Creek Rd a section of SW 72nd St floods right before reaching the creek bridge. High water on N Mission Rd about 2 tenths of a mile from NW 12th St hinders the road impassable.
