Short Range Projections
Short range projection reports and maps are based on river gage forecast from the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS)

Long Range Projections
Projected stages are based on current flow-stage relationships. Many reaches of the river have not experienced flows this high since the dams were constructed; therefore, these flow-stage relationships may need to be refined as events unfold. Additionally, levee breaches may have a significant impact on eventual stages. It should be noted that this is a "likely" range of flows and stages and actual flows and stages could be higher or lower than those specified.
  • Lower flow scenario - Lower range of flows and stages represents approximately a 50 percent chance of being exceeded during the months of June, July and August.

  • Higher flow scenario - Higher range of flows and stages represents approximately a 10 percent chance of being exceeded during the months of June, July and August.

Geospatial Data
This zip file contains shapefile format geospatial data of the inundation extents for the 160,000 cfs scenario. This data is intended to be used with GIS software programs such as ESRI ArcMap. Metadata for the GIS files is included in the zip file.
