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
- 18 - Extensive widespread inundation flooding occurs of the water treatment plant property...woodlands and fields...and other areas upstream and downstream from the gage on Chattanooga Avenue. The water level tops the bridge and causes erosion to the banks. Large portions of Chattanooga Avenue...Coronet Drive...Chenille Drive and nearby service roads will be flooded one to three feet deep.
- 17 - Major flooding begins with widespread inundation flooding of the water treatment plant property...woodlands and fields...and other areas upstream and downstream from the gage on Chattanooga Avenue. The water level hits the bridge and may cause erosion to the banks. Portions of Chattanooga Avenue...Coronet Drive...Chenille Drive and nearby service roads will be flooded one to two feet deep.
- 15 - Significant flooding continues by the water treatment plant and in the woodlands and fields along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on Chattanooga Avenue. The water level hits the bridge and may cause erosion to the banks. County officials will likely have the road closed. Flooding begins on low lying portions of Chattanooga Avenue and services roads nearby.
