⚙️ Physics Predictor

Upstream rainfall too light to drive a rise

Ground: VERY DRY ground (by pre-storm baseflow 0.1 cfs; about 1.1" of rain soaks in before runoff starts)

Engine: v2 (offline-fit convolution in cfs)

📊 Empirical Forecast

No rise indicated by recent rainfall

Soil: DAMP · Confidence: CALIBRATED

Details

Calibrated chance the gauge rises from BELOW_LOW to LOW within the next 12 h, from 6 h rainfall (7.3 mm) at this gauge level (history stratum gq0); ground DAMP by 7-day rain. Experimental.

Rain columns are context, not a probability: the 6-h rain that fell before past rises to each level (quartiles of n past rises; the population is noted under n). This basin: 0.29" so far in the last 6 h. The Chance column is the calibrated forecast.
