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
- 12 - A flood of major proportions is occurring along the Jemez River from above Jemez Springs down to Jemez Reservoir. Highway 4 just north of San Ysidro is impassable as water is flowing over the bridge or the approaches to the bridge. Other sections of highway 4 may also be impassable due to flooding along the Jemez River and its tributaries.
- 10 - Widespread overbank flooding is occurring. Bridges in and around Jemez Springs are either impassable or unsafe to cross due to the high water and debris caught up in the fast flow.
- 8 - Significant overbank flows are occurring from above Jemez Springs down through San Ysidro, including the Jemez Pueblo. Campgrounds and fishing sites along the Jemez River are inaccessible. Further rises will result in bridges becoming unsafe to cross in and around Jemez Springs.
