📊 Empirical Forecast

No rise indicated by recent rainfall

Soil: DAMP · Confidence: CALIBRATED

Forecast applies to Below Longpool thresholds. Above Longpool needs more rise.

Details

Calibrated chance the gauge rises from BELOW_LOW to LOW within the next 30 h, from 24 h rainfall (17.3 mm) at this gauge level (history stratum gq0); ground DAMP by 7-day rain. Experimental.

Rain columns are context, not a probability: the 24-h rain that fell before past rises to each level (quartiles of n past rises; the population is noted under n). This basin: 0.68" so far in the last 24 h. The Chance column is the calibrated forecast.
