What this means
Forecasts by the West Gulf River Forecast Center. Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available. River forecasts for this location take into account past precipitation and the precipitation amounts expected approximately 24 hours into the future from the forecast issuance time. On December 1, 2020, the USGS changed the datum at this location resulting in a permanent 5.0 ft increase in reported river levels. This has also resulted in a 5 ft increase in flood stage levels.
