Active weather warnings for Wisconsin

# Wisconsin Storm Center Report

Wisconsin residents, particularly those in northern regions including the Northwoods and areas around Green Bay and Duluth, face elevated to near-critical fire weather conditions this afternoon through evening of May 16th. Extremely dry conditions combined with west winds gusting 20-30 mph and relative humidity as low as 18-26% create dangerous wildfire conditions, especially in areas that missed recent rainfall. All outdoor fire sources—campfires, grills, smoking materials, chainsaws, and ATVs—pose significant ignition risks. Residents must exercise extreme caution and check local burning restrictions before any outdoor activities. These critical conditions are expected to persist through the afternoon before improving, but the fire danger remains substantial across northern Wisconsin.

Flow report FAQ

About Wisconsin streamflow

Where does the Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.
