Probabilistic Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
849 AM CST Thu Nov 21 2024

...Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) long range
probabilistic outlook for the Brazos River Basin in North Texas...

The National Weather Service Office in Fort Worth Texas has
implemented Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Services (AHPS) for the
Brazos River Basin in North Texas. AHPS enables the National
Weather Service to provide long-range probabilistic outlooks.
This service is also available on the Internet.

In the table below, the 90 through 10 percent columns indicate the
chance the river could rise above the listed stage levels in the
next 90 days. Example: The Brazos River near South Bend has a
Flood stage of 21 feet. There is a 50 percent chance the South
Bend forecast point will rise above  7.7 feet during the next
90 days.

        Chance Of Exceeding Stages At Specific Locations

This long-range probabilistic outlook contains numbers that are
calculated using multiple scenarios from 50 years of historical
climatological and stream flow data. These numbers also take
into account current conditions of the river and soil moisture.
By providing the complete range of probabilistic numbers, the
level of risk associated with long-range planning decisions can
be determined.

Additional supportive data and explanation are available on the
Internet at: water.noaa.gov/wfo/FWD

Long-range probabilistic outlooks are issued around the third
Thursday of every month.
