NOAA/NWS/NOHRSC’s original picture and legend. No station or address value is inferred.

NOHRSC footprint times are metadata; pixel analysis time is not independently verified. Snow-depth pixels have previously differed from the footprint time. This is modeled/assimilated snow analysis, not a measurement at a place. Unshaded and no-data areas do not establish zero snow.

Replay coverage and interpretation

Rolling target: 24 hours; cells: six hours. Radar: NOAA MRMS national overview, 8-minute tolerance. Satellite: original GOES GeoColor day/night picture, hourly sampling, 75-minute tolerance. No interpolation or latest-image fallback. Warning and source checks retain their own clocks. “Recorded by” is collector acquisition evidence, not exact browser publication history.

Current GLM density, velocity and specialist layers are hidden during replay. Snow uses retained footprint metadata with unverified pixel time. Forecast uses one pinned issuance/run and exact valid time.

No observed replay frame displayed.

minor flood stage, and lowland flooding begins.  The river begins
to flood the road between Santa Elena Canyon and Cottonwood
Campground in Big Bend National Park.  The river begins to flood
the parking lot at Santa Elena Canyon, and cut off the nature trail
into the canyon.  Campers in Cottonwood Campground need to prepare

at 1:15 PM CDT Monday was 15.2 feet (4.6 meters).
- Forecast...The river will fall below flood stage this afternoon
to 9.5 feet (2.9 meters) late this evening. It will then rise to
11.3 feet (3.4 meters) late tonight. It will fall to 2.6 feet
(0.8 meters) Friday afternoon then rise again.
- Flood stage is 15.0 feet (4.6 meters).
- Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 15.1
feet (4.6 meters) on 09/04/2022.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks.

Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,
television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.

Additional information is available at www.weather.gov.

The next statement will be issued late tonight at 145 AM CDT.

Coastal observations

Scheduled public-station observations

Water levels are relative to the named datum, not flood depth above ground. Observations keep their own report times.

Coverage and interpretation

Observed water level is relative to the named vertical datum, not flood depth above ground. Observed minus predicted tide is a matched-time residual, not a universal storm-surge or inundation forecast. Buoy wind is not a cyclone maximum; significant wave height is not coastal flood depth. Missing readings are not zero.

Only operator-configured public stations are collected. Coastal context includes stations inside the named monitoring area or within 100 nautical miles of a vertex of its published outline, so offshore buoys can be included; this is a proximity rule, not an impact footprint. Cyclone-only context is within 600 nautical miles of the selected advisory center. Shown center distances are not impact radii. Station-file history without a reported position is not assigned a historical location.
