Effective at 1200 UTC on June 3, 2024, the National Weather Service (NWS) Mobile/Pensacola will cease river flood forecasts and warning services for the Tallahala Creek near Runnelstown, MS, due to a loss in observation data. The USGS was forced to remove the river gauge on the Tallahala Creek near Runnelstown due to a loss of funding. Real-time streamflow data is essential to the issuance of accurate river, flood stage, and water supply forecasts that are issued by the NWS. The absence of the river gauge information necessitated the termination of all river forecasts for the Tallahala Creek near Runnelstown. The NWS will continue to issue general Flood and Flash Flood Warnings as warranted for streams and rivers without gauges. If you require additional information about the effect of discontinuing forecast services, please feel free to contact Jessica Chace at jessica.chace@noaa.gov or by calling 251-633-6443 ext 223. $$
