Web Portal Changes: The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) hosted at https://water.weather.gov will be replaced by the National Water Prediction Service (NWPS), with a target of Spring 2024. Existing AHPS content and features will be preserved and expanded within NWPS. The NWS is now accepting feedback on NWPS. Please visit https://www.weather.gov/owp/operations for more information.

Experimental National Water Center Products: Flood Inundation Mapping services are now available for 10% of the U.S. population. Please visit https://www.weather.gov/owp/operations for more information. The National Hydrologic Discussion, Area Hydrologic Discussion, Flood Hazard Outlook, and real-time geospatial services depicting River Forecast Center and National Water Model forecasts, continue to be accessible via the URL above, as described in the StoryMap here.

26	Catastrophic flooding continues upstream and downstream of the gage and portions of Hortense Way will be under 2 feet of water. A home on Hortense Way near the bridge will be flooded with around 9 feet of water and water will inundate other homes along Hortense Way. Grove Park will be completely submerged and flood waters will be 3 to 4 feet deep in Carter Woodsen Elementary School. The USGS gage house will be completely submerged. A loss of data transmission is expected.
24	Catastrophic flooding continues upstream and downstream of the gage and portions of Hortense Way will be under 2 feet of water. A home on Hortense Way near the bridge will be inundated with around 7 feet of water and flood waters will begin to approach the foundations of nearby homes. Grove Park will be completely submerged and flood waters will be 1 to 2 feet deep in Carter Woodsen Elementary School. Water will be 1 to 2 feet deep in the USGS gage house. A loss of data transmission is likely.
22	Catastrophic flooding occurs upstream and downstream of the gage and water begins to flow over Hortense Way. A home near the bridge will be inundated with around 5 feet of water. The water level will be hitting the bridge acting like an obstacle and causing some backwater and erosion. Grove Park will be completely inundated and flood waters will approach the foundation of Carter Woodsen Elementary School. Water will reach the bottom of the USGS gage house. A loss of data transmission will be possible.
20	Major flooding expands. Extensive flooding occurs upstream and downstream of the gage and the water level will be hitting the Hortense Place Bridge acting like an obstacle and causing some backwater and erosion to the sides of the bridge. A home near the bridge on Hortense Way will be inundated with around 3 feet of water. Widespread flooding of Grove Park will continue and flooding will expand to include areas near Carter Woodsen Elementary School.
18	Flooding never seen before occurs with extensive flooding upstream and downstream of the gage. Water will approach the bottom of the Hortense Place Bridge. A home near the bridge on Hortense Way will be inundated with around one foot of water. Widespread flooding of Grove Park will continue and flooding will expand to include areas near Carter Woodsen Elementary School.
17	Major flooding begins. Extensive flooding occurs upstream and downstream of the gage and water begins to approach the foundation of a home near the Hortense Place bridge. Water will be 4 to 5 feet deep in a structure along the creek downstream of the gage. Grove park will be inundated with flood waters and flooding will expand to include low lying areas near Carter Woodsen Elementary School.
16	Significant flooding continues. Flooding expands upstream and downstream of the gage on Hortense Place. Water will be 4 feet deep in a structure along the right bank of the creek downstream of the gage. Widespread flooding of Grove Park continues.
15	Moderate flooding begins. Flooding of the natural flood plain expands upstream and downstream of the gage on Hortense Place. Water will be 3 feet deep in a structure along the right bank of the creek downstream of the gage. Flooding of Grove Park and the park access road expands and flood waters begin to inundate the baseball fields.
13	Minor flooding of the natural flood plain continues upstream and downstream of the gage on Hortense Place. Water will be one foot deep in a structure along the right bank of the creek downstream of the gage. Water continues to flood low lying portions of the soccer fields and tennis courts of Grove Park. Flooding of the park access road expands.
12	Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding of the natural flood plain continues upstream and downstream of the gage on Hortense Place. Water will approach the foundation of a structure along the right bank of the creek downstream of the gage. Water begins to flood low lying portions of the soccer fields and tennis courts of Grove Park. An access road to the park begins to flood.
11	Bankfull conditions continue upstream and downstream from the gage on Hortense Place. Some low lying areas of the natural flood plain begin to flood as the stream begins to overflow.
10	Bankfull conditions are reached upstream and downstream from the gage on Hortense Place.
