NOTE: Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
River Forecasts typically include ONLY 2 days of future rain from forecast issuance time (lower right of graph). Occasionally 3 days of future rain included.
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
- 17 - Many roads and homes flood along the river flood. Many areas along streams and creeks that flow into the Tygart Valley River also flood.
- 15 - Sections of WV Route 219 and Georgetown Road one tenth of a mile to the right of the river gage flood.
- 14 - Back Road and approach to the Georgetown Road Bridge 0.15 miles from the river gage flood. Also, minor flooding occurs along the reach of the river.
