River forecasts for this location take into account past and future precipitation. Forecast stages may be different if forecast future rainfall does not occur.
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
- 22 - Record flooding never seen before will expand upstream and downstream from the gage on Johnson Road. A catastrophic and massive flood will affect residential homes and businesses along the creek with a few feet of water. The water level will reach the bottom of the Johnson Road bridge and the USGS gage house. This height combined with the flow on North Fork Peachtree Creek will produce record flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
- 18 - Record flooding never seen before will expand along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Johnson Road. Widespread inundation will occur of the backyards of residential homes on Noble Drive...Helen Drive and Kay Lane with up to 5 feet of water. The water level will surround the foundations of some homes and enter some crawl spaces or basements. This height combined with the flow on North Fork Peachtree Creek will produce major flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
- 17 - Major flooding begins along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Johnson Road. Record flooding never seen before will inundate backyards of the residential homes on Noble Drive...Helen Drive and Kay Lane with up to 4 feet of water. The water level will reach the foundations of a few homes and may enter some crawl spaces. This height combined with the flow on North Fork Peachtree Creek will likely produce major flooding further downstream on Peachtree Creek in Fulton County.
