THE NUMBERS, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
What this snapshot can—and cannot—tell you.
Recent, not perfectly simultaneous.
Readings must be no more than 6 hours old when this page is loaded. Each card shows its observation times in UTC. Snapshots are cached for 15 minutes and refreshed on visits; this page does not update continuously.
A real ~24-hour comparison.
We compare the same sensor and unit with an observation within 2 hours of the 24-hour target. Missing history, conflicting sensors, or reverse flow means no comparison—not a made-up trend. “Steady” means a change smaller than 5 CFS or 1% of current flow, whichever is larger.
Flow is not a safety score.
Rising and falling describe streamflow, not necessarily water height. Absolute CFS rankings favor larger rivers; they do not measure unusualness, flooding, or safe recreation. Seasonal comparisons and local context are available on individual gauge pages where supported.
Go to the source for decisions.
USGS readings can be provisional and revised. Check official forecasts, warnings, closures, and local guidance before acting. This dashboard is not a flood-warning service.
