Active weather warnings for Arkansas
# Arkansas Natural Disaster Report
Arkansas is under multiple Heat Advisory warnings through July 19-20, with dangerous heat index values reaching 105-109°F expected across the state. Central, eastern, north central, and southeast Arkansas are most affected, including areas around Little Rock, with peak heat occurring from noon to 8 PM CDT Sunday. High humidity combined with extreme temperatures poses significant risk for heat-related illnesses, particularly for vulnerable populations, outdoor workers, and those unaccustomed to such conditions. Little overnight relief is expected. Residents should limit outdoor activities, stay hydrated, check on elderly neighbors, and seek air-conditioned shelter during peak heat hours. Monitor local forecasts for updates.

Flow report FAQ
About Arkansas streamflow
Where does the Arkansas 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 Arkansas 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 Arkansas 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.
