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.

21 Major flooding begins. Widespread innundation flooding occurs in the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Forest Park Road. Around two feet of water will cover portions of Forest Park Road and will likely cause extensive erosion to the banks as the water flow hits the bridge.
20 Significant flooding expands into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Forest Park Road. Around one foot of water will begin to cover portions of Forest Park Road and will likely cause extensive erosion to the banks as the water flow hits the bridge.
19 Moderate continues to expand into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Forest Park Road. The water level will begin to cover portions of Forest Park Road and will likely cause extensive erosion to the banks as the water flow hits the bridge.
18 Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding will expand into the woodlands upstream and downstream from the gage on Forest Park Road. The water level will be close to the bottom of the bridge.
15 Flood stage is reached. Minor flooding will occur in the woodlands and natural flood plain of the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Forest Park Road.
12 Bankfull conditions are reached along the river upstream and downstream from the gage at Forest Park Road.
