IDAHO FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: December 23, 2025

Streamflow levels across Idaho are currently 148.0% of normal, with the Pend Oreille River At Newport Wa reporting the highest discharge in the state with 35200cfs and gauge stage of 37.82 ft. Meanwhile, the Weiser River Nr Cambridge Id is seeing a spike in streamflows today after experiencing a 137.72% increase since yesterday, and currently running at 668cfs.

Maximum gauge stage in the state was last observed at the Sf Coeur D Alene River Abv Pine Cr Nr Pinehurst Id, currently reporting a stage of 90.13ft. The Coeur D Alene River Nr Cataldo Id in the Coeur d'Alene Lake watershed is surging for this time of year at 8130cfs, about 493.48% of normal.

       



Idaho's flow conditions are influenced by its unique hydrology and climate characteristics. The state has numerous major surface flows, including the Snake River, Salmon River, and Clearwater River, all of which are important for irrigation, hydroelectric power, and recreation. Idaho also has several large reservoirs and dams, such as the Boise River Reservoir and Lucky Peak Dam, which play a crucial role in regulating water flow and supply. The state's watersheds and snowpack levels are also significant indicators of hydrologic conditions, with winter snowpack providing a critical source of water for the state's rivers and streams during the summer months. Overall, Idaho's flow conditions are shaped by a complex interplay of natural and human factors, making it an important area of study for hydrologists and water resource managers.
