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 widespread flooding has historically occurred from the Thurston area downstream to the Willamette-McKenzie confluence. Flooding will be worse if flows on the Willamette are also high.
- 14 - expect widespread flooding downstream from the Vida gauge in the Thurston area to the Willamette-McKenzie confluence.
- 11 - expect flooding of lowland pasture and farmland from Vida downstream to the confluence with the Willamette.
