NOTE: Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
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
- 17 - Historically speaking, an ice jam near the confluence of Apple Creek and the Missouri River created flood damage for many houses and Prairie Rose Elementary School and backed water up to a stage of 17 ft at the gage. Flooding not related to an ice jam does inundate Lincoln Road and a smaller number of homes.
- 16 - Large amounts of farmland floods. Houses near Apple Creek become threatened. Apple Creek road becomes covered with water about 100 feet west of bridge. Other north-south roads across Apple Creek are also threatened with closure.
- 15.3 - Old Highway 10 or Apple Creek Road starts to flood.
