What's happening across the country today
The nation confronts twin emergencies as three federal wildland firefighters lost their lives and two sustained injuries battling blazes along the Colorado-Utah border near Snyder, with a burnover incident marking one of the deadliest firefighting tragedies in recent years. Western Colorado's governor declared a disaster emergency as multiple fires rage out of control, while Los Angeles County reported new ignitions on June 28th. Meanwhile, an unprecedented water crisis engulfs the Southwest and Central Plains: major reservoirs across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas have plummeted to catastrophic lows—Lake Hudson near Locust Grove sits at just 45% of normal capacity (281,200 acre-feet versus 620,730 average), while Kansas reservoirs including Tuttle Creek, Milford Lake, and Perry Lake hover around 40-45% of typical levels. Texas faces particularly dire straits with Eagle Mountain Reservoir at barely 27% of average and Choke Canyon at 28% capacity, threatening municipal water supplies for millions.
**Critical Conditions Impacting Recreation, Safety, and Infrastructure:**
- **Immediate Wildfire Threat**: Active fires burning along Colorado-Utah border with federal firefighter casualties; new Los Angeles County ignition reported June 28th
- **Severe Drought Emergency**: 15+ major reservoirs critically below normal—Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas most affected with some facilities at 25-45% of average capacity
- **Extreme Flooding in Midwest/South**: Ohio River at Old Shawneetown reaching 259,000 cfs; St. Johns River in Jacksonville at 152,000 cfs; flood watches continue across Tennessee Valley with multiple thunderstorm rounds forecast
- **Building Heat Dome**: AccuWeather warns of intensifying heat dome potentially sparking tropical development near southern U.S. Atlantic coast
- **Flash Flood Disaster Legacy**: July 2025 flash flooding in central Texas described as "catastrophic" with ongoing recovery efforts
The juxtaposition of extreme flooding along major rivers (Mississippi, Ohio, White River systems running exceptionally high) against collapsing reservoir levels in adjacent drought zones illustrates the nation's increasingly volatile hydrological extremes, straining water management infrastructure and outdoor recreation access from California to Florida.
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.

"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."
