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
- 21.5 - expect significant bank erosion, large amounts of debris in the river, and flooding of low areas along the river, especially in the lower reach of the Sandy near Troutdale.
- 19.3 - expect areas of significant bank erosion and some minor flooding of low areas along the Sandy from Ten Eyck Road Bridge, also called Revenue Bridge downstream to Troutdale.
