Active weather warnings for Indiana

# Indiana Storm Center Report

A Flood Advisory remains in effect for central Lake County in northwestern Indiana until 9:00 AM CST on November 14th due to localized minor flooding from yesterday's rainfall. Several creeks and streams, including Turkey Creek near Merrillville, have risen out of their banks with water levels slowly receding. Major affected areas include Hammond, Gary, Merrillville, East Chicago, Crown Point, and Cedar Lake. Residents should exercise caution as poor drainage areas and urban zones face elevated flooding risk, with storm drains and ditches potentially clogged by debris. Monitor local conditions closely and avoid flooded roadways and low-lying areas until water levels return to normal.

Indiana vs normal

How Indiana’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 Indiana streamgauge, placed by its own percent of normal. The state average is a single line through all of it.

799 daily readings from 123 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 250%: 48 readings above that — including the 1217% peak in Aug 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 Indiana streamflow

What are river levels like in Indiana right now?

As of November 14, 2026, Indiana rivers are running at 87% of normal across 123 USGS streamgauges, and the Wabash River At New Harmony is reporting the highest discharge at 7,890 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.

Which Indiana river is running highest right now?

As of November 14, 2026, the highest discharge in Indiana is 7,890 cfs on the Wabash River At New Harmony. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.

Are Indiana rivers high or low right now?

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