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.

21.5 MODERATE FLOOD STAGE: Pogo Mine airstrip unusable and mine roads adjacent to the river impassable and/or washed out, flooding likely of the lower Pogo Mine camp warehouse, some private cabins flooded and most surrounded by water. Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
20.7 Pogo airstrip and the lower equipment yard become inundated. (6/6/13)Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
20.5 Water will begin to inundate property around most private cabins and some cabins located in low lying areas may experience flooding.Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
20 Approximately 1/3 of the Pogo Mine airstrip inundated with water, flooding occurs at the lower Pogo Mine camp warehouse yard and some roads adjacent to the river, some private cabins located in areas will be surrounded by water.Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
19.5 MINOR FLOOD STAGE: Water begins to innundate portions of the Pogo Mine airstrip and some roads adjacent to the river at the mine, water will begin to flood property adjacent to some private cabins along the river.Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
19 All gravel bars covered with water, water above lowest brush line, water flowing over lowest river banks and into normally dry sloughs and oxbow lakes, water fills ditches adjacent to the Pogo Mine airstrip.Note - Cabins downstream from gage. River peak takes 48-60 hours to travel downstream
