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
- 16 - Major flooding begins with widespread inundation of the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Columbia Drive. The water level will begin to cover portions of Columbia Drive and will likely cause extensive erosion to the banks as the water flow hits the bridge.
- 13 - Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding will expand into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Columbia Drive. The water level will be close to the bottom of the bridge.
- 11 - Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding will occur in the woodlands and natural flood plain of the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Columbia Drive.
