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 - Major flooding of the San Felipe Pueblo is occurring. Flood waters have inundated cultivated lands along the river and backwater flooding is also occurring along most tributaries. Current water levels rival those of the late 1930s and early 1940s.
- 9.5 - Homes nearest the river in the San Felipe Pueblo are being flooded and more structures in the old Pueblo section are in danger of being inundated as water levels rise. Flooding of this magnitude has not been observed since 1955 when the flow in this stretch of the Rio Grande reached 17,400 cubic feet per second.
- 8.5 - Low lying agricultural lands from above the San Felipe Pueblo down through Santa Ana Pueblo are subject to flooding. Water is approaching homes in the old section of San Felipe Pueblo where the river bank is low. Dirt roads adjacent to the river may already be inundated.
