Flash Flood Guidance products are issued on a
twice-daily basis at about 11
a.m. and 7 p.m. Central Time.
National Weather Service Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs) use
this guidance when issuing flash flood watches and warnings to
the public. 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.
Flash Flood Guidance is used to predict the occurrence of
flash flooding in a specific area based on specified rainfall
amounts within a given duration of time. The River Forecast
Center (MBRFC) calculates and issues products with guidance
values for 1, 3 and 6-hour rainfall totals for all counties
within the MBRFC region.
