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 - Major Flooding. Catastrophic and widespread floodplain inundation. County fairgrounds completey under water. Highway 25 begins to flood and bridge is heavily backwatered.
- 14 - Moderate Flooding. Widespread floodplain inundation in the vicinity of the fairgrounds. Water is now interacting with the Highway 25 bridge chord, potentially causing backwatering and enhanced inundation upstream.
- 11.6 - Minor Flooding. Water level has reached the top of the levee protecting the fairgrounds RV park on the north side of the river upstream of the Highway 25 bridge. With the exception of the left bank (south) side floodplain upstream of the bridge, all nearby floodplain will be inundated, especially if waters crest the limited levee present. NWS will issue a Flash Flood Warning, if not yet already issued.
