Active weather warnings for Mississippi

# Mississippi Natural Disaster Report

Mississippi residents, particularly in southern and northern regions, should prepare for dangerous heat conditions through Tuesday evening. A Heat Advisory remains in effect for George, Greene, Perry, Stone, and Wayne Counties in south Mississippi, with heat index values reaching 110°F, while northern Mississippi counties face heat indices up to 109°F. Both advisories extend through Tuesday evening, with peak heating from 10 AM Monday through 9 PM Tuesday. Residents should limit outdoor activities, stay hydrated, and watch for heat illness symptoms including dizziness, nausea, and confusion. Additionally, monitor Tropical Depression Two developing in the Gulf of Mexico, which could bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds to Mississippi's coastal areas in the coming days. Check local forecasts regularly for updates.

Flow report FAQ

About Mississippi streamflow

Where does the Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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 Mississippi 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.
