Active weather warnings for South Carolina
South Carolina's coastal regions are under a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect through 10:00 PM EDT on May 16th. Coastal Horry and Georgetown Counties should prepare for up to one foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas, particularly near shorelines and tidal waterways. Vulnerable causeways to local beaches will experience minor flooding between 6 PM and 10 PM this evening, and low-lying roads along the Intracoastal Waterway and adjacent tidal creeks may also be affected. Residents in affected coastal communities are urged to check with local officials for road closures and flooding impacts. Additional flooding may occur in other areas during heavy rainfall or high winds.

About South Carolina streamflow
Where does the South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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.
