ALABAMA FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: December 4, 2025

As of the latest streamflow data analysis in Alabama, several rivers and streams exhibit noteworthy flow patterns that are of interest to river enthusiasts and water resource managers. A cursory examination reveals that the Alabama River near Montgomery is flowing at 11,100 cubic feet per second (cfs), which is significantly below the norm for this time of year, a trend that is mirrored in the Tombigbee River at Coffeeville Lock and Dam with a streamflow of 8,960 cfs. This could indicate a potential flow drought in these substantial waterways, affecting both recreational activities and ecosystem health. Conversely, the Mulberry Fork at Cordova is flowing close to its normal with 2,820 cfs, while the Village Creek at 24th St. at Birmingham shows an extraordinary increase, reaching 321% of its normal streamflow, which could signal potential local flooding issues if trends continue.

The Pea River near Ariton has seen a significant 24-hour increase to 906 cfs, standing at 148.87% of its typical flow, suggesting an anomaly that could lead to sudden changes in river conditions, possibly impacting nearby communities and whitewater trails. The Conecuh River at River Falls and points below the Point A Dam are experiencing increased flows, with streamflow changes of 64.54 cfs and 51.39 cfs respectively, potentially affecting the Brantley and River Falls areas. Notable decreases in streamflow are observed at Uchee Creek near Fort Mitchell and Burnt Corn Creek near Brewton, with drops of -35.37 cfs and -43.13 cfs, respectively, indicating a short-term reduction in water levels that could impact local fishing and river navigation. River enthusiasts should exercise caution as these fluctuations could affect popular whitewater spots, such as those on the Tallapoosa River, which are currently well below their normal flows. It's essential to stay informed on the latest water level changes for safety and to maximize the enjoyment of Alabama's diverse and scenic waterways.
