NOTE: Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
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
- 24 - Several homes threatened on the east bank of the Little Fork at the confluence with the Rainy River. This flooding is due to backwater and is dependant on both the height of the Little Fork and Rainy Rivers.
- 22 - Several DNR boat landings and primative campgrounds adjacent to the river are inundated.
