Active weather warnings for Idaho

# Idaho Natural Disaster Report

Idaho residents should exercise caution due to two active weather advisories affecting the state. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 7:00 AM PST Thursday, November 12, with visibility reduced to one quarter mile or less across northern Idaho valleys. Drivers are urged to reduce speed and use headlights. Additionally, an Air Quality Alert is active through 11:00 AM PST November 13 for Shoshone and Bonner Counties due to wildfire smoke, with air quality levels reaching unhealthy conditions for sensitive groups including children, elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. Members of these vulnerable populations should limit outdoor activities and remain indoors with air filtration when possible.

Idaho vs normal

How Idaho’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 Idaho 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 152 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 160%: 8 readings above that — including the 187% peak in Dec 2025 — 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 Idaho streamflow

What are river levels like in Idaho right now?

As of November 12, 2026, Idaho rivers are running at 84% of normal across 163 USGS streamgauges, and the Pend Oreille River At Newport Wa is reporting the highest discharge at 15,500 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.

Which Idaho river is running highest right now?

As of November 12, 2026, the highest discharge in Idaho is 15,500 cfs on the Pend Oreille River At Newport Wa. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.

Are Idaho rivers high or low right now?

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