NOTE: Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
River forecasts for this location take into account past precipitation and the precipitation amounts expected approximately 24 hours into the future from the forecast issuance time.
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
- 54 - near record flooding occurs between the Port of Catoosa to the pool of Newt Graham Lock and Dam. Some 73,000 acres of land along the river, including landings and parks, are inundated. The flood of record was 54.93 feet on May 21, 1943. This is an extremely dangerous and life threatening situation.
- 52 - very severe flooding occurs from the twin Highway 412 bridges downstream. Parks and landings along the Verdigris River are inundated. This will approach the flood of October 5, 1959 when the river crested at 53.20 feet. This is an extremely dangerous and life threatening situation.
- 50 - severe flooding occurs from the twin Highway 412 bridges downstream. Landings and parks along the river are covered to depths of several feet. This will approach the flood of May 25, 1957 when the river crested at 51.50 feet. This is an extremely dangerous and life threatening situation.
