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
- 28 - Moderate flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands and fields away from the river. Large portions of Roy Wood Road will be completely under water. Flood waters reach the basement level of an assisted living home off of Roy Wood Road and begin to seep into the concrete floor.
- 25 - Moderate flooding begins. Extensive flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields along the river. Large portions of Roy Wood Road and the Broad River Outpost for Canoes and Kayaks location will be completely under water. Flooding reaches the bore well in the backyard of an assisted living home off of Roy Wood Road.
- 24 - Minor flooding expands further into the woodlands and fields along the river. A sand dredge operation on the left bank near the gage will be completely under water. Large portions of Roy Wood Road and the Broad River Outpost for Canoes and Kayaks location will be under several feet of water. Flooding expands up the backyard of an assisted living home off of Roy Wood Road.
