FLORIDA FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: February 13, 2026

In Florida, streamflow data reveals distinct seasonal trends and indications of abnormal water conditions that merit attention from river enthusiasts and water resource managers alike. Notably, the St. Johns River at Jacksonville experienced a significant increase in streamflow with a reported 47100 cubic feet per second (cfs), marking a substantial change of 251.49% over the last 24 hours and indicating potential flooding concerns in the city and surrounding regions. Similarly, the C-41 Canal near Brighton witnessed an alarming 190.65% rise in streamflow, now flowing at 261 cfs, which is 281.86% above the norm, suggesting an atypically high flow that could affect local waterways and ecosystems.

Conversely, a number of rivers are experiencing flow levels well below normal. The Suwannee River at Suwannee Springs is running at a low 193 cfs, a stark 90.11% below the expected flow, indicating possible flow drought conditions that could impact the local environment and water supply. The Ochlockonee River near Havana, with a mere 153 cfs, has decreased by 1.92% in the last 24 hours, reaching an abnormally low 87.95% below the norm, raising concerns over water scarcity in the region. For whitewater enthusiasts, these conditions suggest a decrease in available recreational opportunities on these rivers. The data underscores the need for continuous monitoring to ensure the safety and enjoyment of Florida's rivers, as well as to manage water resources effectively in the face of these variable and sometimes extreme flow conditions.
