Active weather warnings for Alabama
# Alabama Natural Disaster Alert
Multiple Heat Advisories remain in effect across Alabama through Monday evening as dangerously hot conditions persist statewide. Heat index values are expected to reach 109-112 degrees, particularly affecting north central and northeast Alabama including the Huntsville area, central Alabama near Birmingham and Hoover, south central regions, and southeast Alabama through Monday. Southwest and south central Alabama near Mobile may experience heat index values up to 111 degrees. These extreme temperatures combined with high humidity create significant risk for heat-related illnesses. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activities, stay hydrated, check on vulnerable populations, and seek air-conditioned environments. Athletes and outdoor workers should take frequent breaks and monitor for heat exhaustion symptoms.

As of August 16, 2026, the highest discharge in Alabama is 13,900 cfs on the Alabama River At Claiborne L&D Near Monroeville. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.
Are Alabama rivers high or low right now?
Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Alabama rivers are running higher than the seasonal average for the date, below 100% means lower (a dry spell or drought). Each gauge also shows its own percent of median.
Where does the Alabama streamflow data come from?
The U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System. USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes) and the data is the canonical real-time record for U.S. rivers. Snoflo pulls the latest readings and joins them to a 7-day NOAA weather forecast for each station.
What is cfs?
Cubic feet per second — the standard unit for streamflow. One cfs is about 7.5 gallons per second. Small creeks run at single-digit cfs; the Mississippi at hundreds of thousands.
What does Gauge Height mean?
The water level at the gauge in feet above the reference datum. Used together with discharge to track river state. Flood stage and runnable levels are typically expressed in gauge height (e.g., "flood at 16 ft").
How fresh is the Alabama data?
USGS streamgauges report every 15 minutes; Snoflo re-pulls throughout the day. The AI briefing regenerates daily.
Can I get a flow alert for a Alabama gauge?
Yes. Save any USGS gauge as a favorite in the Snoflo iOS app, set a discharge or stage threshold (e.g. "alert me when discharge crosses 2,000 cfs"), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
Is this a substitute for an NWS flood warning?
No. Snoflo is informational. For flood life-safety decisions always follow guidance from your local NWS forecast office and state emergency management. Snoflo data is one input among several.
