Climate intelligence for the great outdoors.
Real-time snowpack, streamflow, weather, and flood data from 800+ NRCS SNOTEL stations and 10,000+ USGS gauges — on one beautiful, fast map.
What's happening across the country today
A severe water emergency is unfolding across the central United States, with critical reservoir levels plummeting to dangerous lows while major river systems surge with unprecedented flows. In Kansas, three major reservoirs—Milford Lake, Tuttle Creek Lake, and Perry Lake—are operating at roughly one-third of normal capacity, threatening municipal water supplies and agricultural operations across the state. Texas faces an equally dire situation with multiple reservoirs in crisis: Eagle Mountain Reservoir near Fort Worth holds just 25% of its average storage, while Bridgeport Reservoir sits at 38% and Choke Canyon Reservoir has collapsed to 27% of normal levels. Lake Hudson in Oklahoma has plummeted to 43% capacity, compounding water stress for communities already grappling with prolonged drought conditions. Meanwhile, flooding concerns escalate along the Ohio River at Old Shawneetown, where flows have reached 259,000 cubic feet per second, and the Mississippi River system shows elevated levels from Minnesota through the southern states.
**Key Impacts:**
- **Immediate water restrictions likely** for communities dependent on Kansas reservoirs, affecting approximately 500,000 residents in the Manhattan, Junction City, and Perry areas
- **Texas metropolitan regions face rationing**: Dallas-Fort Worth area reservoirs (Eagle Mountain, Bridgeport, Richland-Chambers) operating significantly below normal, threatening supplies for 7+ million residents
- **Flood watches active** for 30 million people across the Heartland and Northeast as multiple storm systems bring renewed flooding threats to already saturated regions
- **Outdoor recreation severely curtailed**: Lake levels in Texas and Oklahoma have closed boat ramps and marinas; bass fishing tournaments cancelled at Lake Fork and Lake Tawakoni
- **Agricultural losses mounting** in Kansas and Oklahoma as irrigation systems face cutbacks during critical growing season
- **Colorado wildfires claim lives**: Clinton Township firefighter killed battling Aspen Acres wildfire, which threatens areas near the Supermax federal prison
Every layer that matters,
updated as the day unfolds.
Each layer is built around a real question — what the snow is doing, what the rivers are running at, what the weather's about to throw at you, where you can head this weekend.
What the snow is doing
800+ SNOTEL stations with depth and SWE history, NOHRSC analysis painted across every western range, and 24/48/72‑hour snowfall forecasts on top.
What the rivers are running at
10,000+ USGS streamgauges with live cfs, reservoir storage, watershed boundaries, FEMA flood zones, and a 15‑day flow forecast at every gauge.
The weather that drives it all
Air temperature, last‑24h precipitation, NWS warnings (snow / fire / flood), the drought monitor, and smoke advection — everything that turns conditions into action.
Where you can head out
Ski areas, paddle runs, fishing access, campgrounds, boat ramps, points of interest. Tap any pin for the full report linked to nearest gauge and weather.

Built with the people who use it daily.
"Lives in the Front Range, this is the first snow app that doesn't make me cross-reference NRCS, NOHRSC, and the local ski-resort blog."
"Push alerts on the gauge that drops me into Section IV. I haven't missed a window all spring. Game changer for paddle planning."
"The Nearby tab is what finally got my non-app-people friends on board. They tap it once and see everything within an hour's drive."
"Reservoir storage trends + watershed boundaries on one map. I previously had to bounce between three USBR sites. This saves me hours every week."
"Tapped a fishing access in Idaho, popup showed the closest gauge, water temp, and what species are in the river. That's a tackle-shop conversation in one screen."
"Set freeze-warning alerts on every NWS zone covering my orchard. The push lands earlier than the email I used to wait for. Worth its weight."
