What this means
Forecasts by the Southeast River Forecast Center. Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point. Current stage readings for the Luxapallila Creek at Millport are unrepresentative of natural hydrologic flow. Significant and persistent downstream blockages and logjams are causing the creek to experience a chronic backwater effect. The gage will likely remain at or above previously established flood stages until further notice
