NCRFC Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) | ||
Flash Flood Guidance provides an estimate of the amount of rainfall over a specific area during a given duration of time that is required to cause small streams to overflow their natural bank. NCRFC issues 1, 3, and 6-Hour guidance products twice daily around 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. It should be noted that these values are meant to be used only as guidance. Topography and/or urbanization in some areas are also contributing factors to flash flooding. National Weather Service Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) use this guidance when issuing flash flood watches and warnings. |
