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

- 12 - Flood waters continue to invade low lying areas west of Highway 789. Highway 789 may be sand leveed by wydot on the south side of the river. Widespread and very extensive agricultural flooding downstream of Riverton near the Black Bridge and Hidden Valley area. Need to monitor closely irrigation canals upstream of Riverton for possibe overflow problems.
- 11 - Major flooding of homes along the right bank. Water begins to encroach low lying areas west of Highway 789.
