THESE OUTLOOKS ARE ISSUED ONCE A MONTH AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE 7
DAY RIVER FORECASTS THAT ARE ISSUED WHEN RIVER FORECAST LOCATIONS
ARE IN FLOOD OR FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE.
THE VALUES IN THE TABLE BELOW ARE VALID FROM DEC. 1 2008 TO MAR. 1

THIS OUTLOOK CONTAINS FORECAST VALUES THAT ARE CALCULATED USING
MULTIPLE SEASON SCENARIOS FROM 30 OR MORE YEARS OF CLIMATOLOGICAL
DATA INCLUDING CURRENT CONDITIONS OF THE RIVER...SOIL MOISTURE...
AND 30 TO 90 DAY LONG-RANGE OUTLOOKS OF TEMPERATURE AND
PRECIPITATION. BY PROVIDING THE COMPLETE RANGE OF
PROBABILITIES...THE LEVEL OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-RANGE
PLANNING DECISIONS CAN BE MADE.
