Preliminary Outlooks for Various QPF Durations
 

Contingency river forecasts are produced by running varying WPC QPF durations through the operational hydrologic model to anticipate potential future crests. These are raw model simulations that DO NOT take into account hydrologist expertise and quality control modifications. They are NOT official forecasts, should be used with extreme caution, and only as a "head's up" to what COULD be coming.

The contingency forecasts are updated daily by Noon Central every day.
