Cheat River forecast
What could the river look like at Albright in about 12 hours? This estimate uses the flow measured upstream at Parsons.
cfs = flow in cubic feet per second. ft = height on the local river gauge, not water depth.

How this estimate works & source links
The calculator assumes the flow at Albright will match the latest Parsons flow about 12 hours after that reading. It converts that flow to an Albright gauge height using the USGS rating table (shift-adjusted EXSA when available, otherwise BASE).
The two gauges use different height scales. Do not compare their feet readings as water depth. USGS readings are provisional.
