Active weather warnings for Arizona

# Arizona Natural Disaster Report

A Flood Warning remains in effect for the Little Colorado River from Winslow to Leupp until midnight MST tonight, October 26. Excessive rainfall has triggered dangerous flooding conditions, particularly near Birdsprings where active inundation is occurring. Water levels at Winslow have crested at 17.93 feet and are expected to recede, but downstream impacts will persist throughout the day. Critical concerns include flooding of bridge approaches on Navajo Route 71 near Birdsprings and potential flooding threats to Leupp. Residents are warned of deadly hazards over low-water crossings in the affected region. Water levels should fall below action stage this afternoon, but caution is advised as conditions remain dangerous through tonight.

Arizona vs normal

How Arizona’s rivers compare to normal

Every gauge placed by its own percent of normal, and three years of the statewide trend.

Where every gauge actually sits

One dot per Arizona streamgauge, placed by its own percent of normal. The state average is a single line through all of it.

Percent of normal compares today's discharge with the historical average for this calendar day. Tap any dot to open that gauge.

799 daily readings from 114 reporting gauges. Percent of normal is today's statewide discharge against the historical average for the same calendar day — 100% is normal, not "good". The axis tops out at 175%: 8 readings above that — including the 567% peak in Oct 2026 — are drawn along the top edge, so a few flood days cannot flatten three years of everything else. The line breaks in 2 places where the record skips more than five days — those are gaps in reporting, not readings of zero.

Flow report FAQ

About Arizona streamflow

What are river levels like in Arizona right now?

As of October 25, 2026, Arizona rivers are running at 348% of normal across 145 USGS streamgauges, and the Colorado River Above Diamond Creek Nr Peach Spring is reporting the highest discharge at 25,900 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.

Which Arizona river is running highest right now?

As of October 25, 2026, the highest discharge in Arizona is 25,900 cfs on the Colorado River Above Diamond Creek Nr Peach Spring. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.

Are Arizona rivers high or low right now?

Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Arizona 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 Arizona 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 Arizona 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 Arizona 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.
