Peak Flows at USGS Stations near Mount Rainier
Right now this page only displays the following stations/situations:
12082500 - Nisqually River near National, WA (Peaks > 2,600 cfs and/or annual peak) (WY's 1942-present)
12094000 - Carbon River near Fairfax, WA (Peaks > 1,800 cfs and/or annual peak) (WY's 1930-1978, 1991-present)
Note: A peak flow time of 12:01 indicates the high for that day, and not the exact time it occurred during that day.
Flood Recurrence Intervals are calculated from the best-fit exponential equation of the Weighted 20% Annual Exceedance Probability. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the source data/link.
The "Link Events" column attempts to show flood peaks on the Nisqually and Carbon within 24 hrs of each other (i.e., the same storm)
Show ALL flood peaks (including annual peak and subpeaks)163 peak flows listed below (81 for Nisqually; 82 for Carbon)...

Flood recurrence interval calculation:
RI =
a * e
b * cfs
Where:
RI = Flood recurrence interval, years,
aNisqually = 0.389194669880461000,
bNisqually = 0.000258175232683441,
aCarbon = 0.347891292665808000,
bCarbon = 0.000383044069541846, and
cfs = Peak flow in cubic feet per second
These variables are from the best-fit exponential equation of the Weighted 20% Annual Exceedance Probability based on
USGS Stream Stats data, last fetched on 11/17/2021.
A big thanks to Kurt Spicer and Mark Mastin at the USGS for providing the raw data for this analysis!
