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
- 37 - FM 539 is flooded and impassable near the Cibolo Creek. Access to some homes may cut off due to the floodwaters. Backflowing could affect residences along Gum Branch and Alum Creek.
- 35 - Water submerges the roadway just south of the FM 539 bridge, making it impassable. Homes are not yet impacted at this level.
