FLOODS OF DECEMBER 1982 AND JANUARY 1983 IN CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI RIVER BASIN
By Vernon B. Sauer and Janice M. Fulford
ABSTRACT
Widespread flooding occurred in December 1982 and early January 1983 through a large part of the central and southern Mississippi River basin. The States affected the most by these floods were Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The flooding was the result of two major storms; one in early December and the other in late December. The early December storm resulted in outstanding floods mainly in Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas. The late December storm produced major flooding mainly in southeastern Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Western Tennessee was on the fringes of both storms. Throughout the affected area for both storms, many streams exceeded previously known flood heights and discharges, and in many cases the recurrence interval of peak discharges exceeded 100 years.
INTRODUCTION
Purpose and Scope
The floods of December 1982 and early January 1983 affected an area, approximately 250 miles wide and 1,000 miles long, through the central and southern part of the United States extending from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. This area was roughly centered over the central and southern part of the Mississippi River basin. States that were hardest hit by the flooding included Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Figure 1 shows the area affected by these floods.
The purpose of this report is to present peak stage and discharge data for gaging stations and miscellaneous sites in the affected area. Rainfall data for many rain gages are included. All data are provisional and subject to review and revision.
Acknowledgments
Precipitation data were provided by the Department of Commerce, National Weather Service. Streamflow data, peak stages, discharges, and recurrence intervals were compiled by U.S. Geological Survey district offices in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
Figure 1. Area affected by the floods of December 1982 and January 1983.
STORM CHARACTERISTICS
The two main storms, December 2-7 and December 24-29, 1982, were both related to deep low pressure troughs aloft over Texas and the Southwest. The resulting flow pattern fed wa*rm, wet air over the lower Mississippi River basin and created atmospheric disturbances over the Gulf of Mexico and southeast Texas that encouraged development of the storm systems. Subsequent slow movement of these systems toward the northeast produced tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and intense rainfall for extended time periods. Additional moderate but spotty rains in December served to maintain a high soil moisture content, thereby contributing to high runoff and extreme floods.
Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas were affected severely by the December 2-7 storm, whereas the December 24-29 storm had the greatest affect in Louisiana and Mississippi. Western Tennessee was not severely affected by either storm, but had moderate to heavy rainfall from both events which resulted in moderate flooding on some streams.
Provisional rainfall data for many National Weather Service rain gages are given in table 1. However, for some states, rainfall data were available for only a few sites at the time this report was prepared. The accumulated rainfall totals shown in table 1 are for the periods December 2-7 and December 24-29, except as noted.
FLOODS
Peak Stages and Discharges
Peak stages and discharges were determined at many gaging stations and miscellaneous sites throughout the six-state area affected by the flooding. Table 2 lists provisional data for 350 of these sites. Note that table 2 lists only 349 map numbers; however, site 74 is followed by 74a, thus the total of 350 sites. Included in table 2 is a map number corresponding to the numbers on plate 1 which shows the location of each site. General information shown in table 2 includes the downstream order station number, the station name and location, drainage area size, and the period of record for which peak stage and discharge data are available. Peak stage and discharge for the maximum flood previously known is given. The maximum stage and discharge for the early December and late December-early January floods are shown where both are signifi cant. At many sites only one peak is" significant and consequently it is the only one listed.
The frequency, or recurrence interval, of the floods, as shown in table 2, is the average number of years between floods equal to or greater than the December or January events. It is emphasized that this is an average number of years, and it does not imply that it will be that many years before another event of that magnitude occurs. In fact, similar or greater events can occur within the same year, as indicated by some stations where two outstanding peaks occurred in December. The
reciprocal of the frequency is the probability of the event occurring in any one year. For instance, a 100-year flood has a 0.01 probability or 1 percent chance, of occurring in any year* All frequencies, or recurrence intervals, were determined from station data, unless other wise noted. Log Pearson III procedures, as described by the Water Resources Council (1977), were used to compute individual station frequency curves.
Many of the outstanding peaks during December were on the largestreams because of the generally widespread and long duration of the rainfall. Previous peaks of record were exceeded and recurrence intervals were greater than 100 years at many sites. A few of the outstanding flood peaks are described in the following paragraphs; however, there are too many to cite all of them. The reader can refer to table 2 for a comparison of flood peaks in any particular area ofinterest. i
Illinois was affected most severely by the early December storm, with several streams exceeding previously known maximum floods. The Illinois River at Marseilles, for instance, exceeded the previous maximum by 1.5 feet for the period dating back to 1919. The December 5 flood peak of 94,100 ft 3 /s has a frequency estimated to be 90 years.
Missouri, like Illinois, was affected most by the early December storm and also had many new peaks of record established as a result of this storm. As an example, the Gasconade River exceeded previous maxi mum flood by 2.3 and 4.1 feet, respectively, at Jerome (since 1897) and Rich Fountain (since 1922). For both stations the frequency of the peak discharges was greater than 100 years.
Arkansas had severe flooding caused bythe southeastern part of the State receivec, additional flooding from thelate December storm. Peaks of record were
the early December storm, and
exceeded at many locations inArkansas. An outstanding example occurred near Poughkeepsie on the Strawberry River where the maximum peak s:.nce 1936 was exceeded by 6.6 feet and the December 3 peak discharge of 158,000 ft3 /s is more than three times the previous maximum. This flood was greater than a 100-year event. j
Large flood peaks in Mississippi were mostly in the western part of the State. Only a few really outstanding peaks occurred because Mississippi was on the eastern fringe oi: the storms. The Yalobusha River at Calhoun City exceeded the previous maximum since 1950 by 0.5 foot. The December 26 peak discharge of greater than 100 years.
Louisiana was affected by both the ea but the late December storm was the most Rochelle exceeded the previous maximum December 29 peak discharge of 108,000 ft3 / the previous maximum and had a frequency in
70,600 ft3 /a had a frequency
ly and late December storms, tievere. The Little River near since 1958 by 5.6 feet. The
was nearly twice as large as excess of 100 years.
The main stem of the Mississippi River, although not exceeding any previous maximum floods, had fairly high peaks from Illinois downstream to its mouth. The peak discharges in the lower reaches exceeded 1 million ftVs, with a peak on January 11 of almost 1.2 million ftVs at Tarbert Landing, Miss. The Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi River, had a peak discharge on January 12 of 513,000 ft^/s at Simmesport, La.
Flood Hydrographs
Daily discharge hydrographs for the month of December 1982 and part of January 1983 are shown in figure 2. These hydrographs are for selected gaging stations to show the relative magnitude of flooding for the early and late December floods in various parts of the study area. The hydrographs illustrate again that the northern part of the study area had the most severe flooding in early December and the southern part had the most severe flooding in late December.
