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

- 10 - Extensive flooding is widespread across a large expanse of the river reach.
- 9 - The left bank begins to flood. The right bank is generally not subject to flooding except very high flows or severe ice action.
- 8 - Some rural lowlands begin to flood.
