The National Weather Service forecast office in San Angelo, McCulloch County Emergency Management Officials and the West Gulf River Forecast Center have updated the flood stages for the San Saba River near Brady.
The change will become effective on Wednesday, September 4. The flood stages did not represent the current impacts, as a result the area at the gauge was surveyed and new flood stages were determined based on current impacts.
The following critical threshold levels will be changed as follows:
San Saba River near Brady (BSST2)
- Action Stage 16 feet
- Flood Stage/Minor Flood 18 feet
- Moderate Flood Stage 23 feet Major Flood Stage 28 feet
The West Gulf River Forecast Center (WGRFC) prepares river stage forecasts for more than 400 locations along major rivers in the South-Central portion of the United States. Covering approximately 400,000 square miles, the center’s area of responsibility includes West Central Texas. These forecasts are then forwarded to National Weather Service forecast offices throughout its service area for dissemination to the public.
