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 - Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding occurs in the woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage at Banning Road. A record discharge flow from the Snake Creek Reservior around two miles upstream will be occurring to reach this level. The rapidly flowing water will cause erosion to the banks of sharp bends in the creek. This will be similar to the record flooding which occurred in September 2009.
- 16 - Significant flooding continues in the woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage at Banning Road. A significant discharge flow from the Snake Creek Reservior around two miles upstream will be occurring to reach this level. The rapidly flowing water will cause erosion to the banks of sharp bends in the creek.
- 14 - Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs in the woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage at Banning Road. A significant discharge flow from the Snake Creek Reservior around two miles upstream will be occurring to reach this level. The rapidly flowing water will cause erosion to the banks of sharp bends in the creek.
