NOTE: Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
Automated gauge readings are now available, courtesy of the USGS.
River forecasts for this location take into account past precipitation and the precipitation amounts expected approximately 48 hours into the future from the forecast issuance time.
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
- 33 - Major flooding expands upstream and downstream from Georgia Highway 16, 9 or more feet higher than July 1994. The bridge on Highway 16 is completely overtopped. The USGS gage house located on the bridge will be submerged and data transmission loss will be likely.
- 30 - Major flooding expands upstream and downstream from Georgia Highway 16, higher than July 1994. The fire station will be innundated with several feet of water. Water reaches the road surface of the Highway 16 bridge and may cause damage to the structure. Wildcat Creek continues to flood a large section of West Ellis Road up to 13 feet deep. Significant flooding will continue along West Ellis Road and may impact up to a dozen homes.
- 25 - Major flooding expands upstream and downstream from Georgia Highway 16, higher than July 1994. Flood waters continue to innundate the fire station and touch the bottom of the bridge. Officials may close the bridge. Portions of Highway 16 will also be flooded. Wildcat Creek continues to flood a large section of West Ellis Road up to 8 feet deep. The homes along Landing Way will experience significant flooding up to 10 feet.
