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.

- 25 - the river continues to inundate Rio Grande Village campground. The campground store also begins to flood at stages over 25 feet (7.62 meters).
- 22 - the river completely submerges the telemetry box near the pump house, rendering it useless.
