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
- 53.4 - Equivalent to the 50.3 feet record flood level set October 20, 1998 at the State Highway 183 bridge. Massive flooding observed across the floodplain. Catastrophic flooding within Cuero city limits. In many locations the river is two miles wide or wider. State highways closed due to flooding. Many evacuations would likely be necessary. Note: The river gauge was moved due to safety issues for USGS personnel conducting maintenance work on the State Highway 183 bridge.
- 50 - Dangerous and life threatening river flooding continues to impact numerous residential areas along the Guadalupe River upstream and downstream from Cuero. Water approaches Hwy 87 north 1.2 miles northwest of the Hwy 183/87 bridge. This height is within 4 feet of the record crest set in 1998.
- 44.36 - Recorded crest at the Hwy 72 bridge, August 29, 2017 from Hurricane Harvey. Dangerous flooding is taking place along the Guadalupe River channel. Streets near Drainage District ditches are flooded. South Esplanade at the intersection of West Heaton is closed with water 8 to 10 inches over the centerline.
