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
- 138.8 - At levels above 138.8 feet, major lowland flooding continues with water to the gage house on the left downstream bank. The approaches to the FM 1458 bridge are inundated and impassable. The home on the left upstream is likely flooded with several feet of water.
- 129.3 - At levels above 129.3 feet, major lowland flooding begins with the east approach to the FM 1458 bridge inundated and the home on the left upstream banks is likely flooded.
- 128.4 - At levels above 128.4 feet, moderate lowland flooding continues with water to the toe of the right downstream concrete bridge apron.
