Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-000983

In hydrologic terms, a table of pre-computed forecast crest stage values for small streams for a variety of antecedent moisture conditions and rain
amounts. Soil moisture conditions are often represented by flash flood guidance values. In lieu of crest stages, categorical
representations of flooding, e.g., minor, moderate, etc. may be used on the tables.
