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
- 18 - Major flooding begins. Widespread inundation flooding occurs along the creek downstream from the gage on the tailrace of the Snake Creek Reservior Dam. A record high discharge from the dam will be occurring to reach this level. The high flow will be more than the September 2009 flood event.
- 17 - Significant flooding occurs along the creek downstream from the gage on the tailrace of the Snake Creek Reservior Dam. Near record high discharge from the dam will be occurring to reach this level. This will be similar to the September 2009 flood event.
- 15 - Moderate flooding begins. Significant flooding occurs along the creek downstream from the gage on the tailrace of the Snake Creek Reservior Dam. Significant discharge from the dam will be occurring to reach this level.
