How this is worked out: for each gauge Flowcast compares the latest USGS flow reading with the reading closest to 24 hours earlier (it must be within 3 hours of that time). A change of +10% or more is labelled rising, −10% or more falling, and anything in between steady. “n/a” means there was no current reading or no reading near 24 hours earlier. USGS readings are provisional. This describes the last 24 hours only; it is not a forecast, and dam releases can change flow on regulated rivers at any time.

Data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Readings are provisional and subject to revision. Flowcast statuses are automated comparisons with each gauge's own history, not safety ratings or fishing reports. Check local conditions, weather, regulations and closures before you go. Rivers can change quickly.
