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

- 11 - Overflow from Salmon Falls Creek will completely inundate the rest area along U.S. 93, about 3 miles south of Jackpot, NV. Water may begin encroaching upon the shoulder of U.S. 93 near the rest area.
- 10 - Minor flooding occurs along the banks of Salmon Falls Creek. Water from Salmon Falls Creek begins entering the Salmon Falls Creek rest area along U.S. 93, about 3 miles south of Jackpot, NV.
