Active weather warnings for New Mexico
# New Mexico Natural Disaster Report
New Mexico residents, particularly those in the Middle Rio Grande Valley including the Albuquerque Metro Area, Northwest Plateau, West Central Plateau, and West Central Highlands, should prepare for dangerous heat conditions today. The National Weather Service Albuquerque has issued a Heat Advisory with temperatures expected to reach 98-103°F from noon through 8:00 PM MDT, with record-breaking highs anticipated in the San Juan and Rio Grande River Valleys. Heat illnesses pose a serious risk during these extreme conditions. Those involved in ongoing flash flood recovery efforts around Gallup and Zuni Pueblo should take additional precautions, limiting outdoor activity and staying hydrated. Vulnerable populations, outdoor workers, and anyone engaging in strenuous activities should seek air-conditioned shelter during peak heat hours.

About New Mexico streamflow
What are river levels like in New Mexico right now?
As of August 4, 2026, New Mexico rivers are running at 108% of normal across 116 USGS streamgauges, and the Pecos River Below Sumner Dam is reporting the highest discharge at 1,370 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.
Which New Mexico river is running highest right now?
As of August 4, 2026, the highest discharge in New Mexico is 1,370 cfs on the Pecos River Below Sumner Dam. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.
Are New Mexico rivers high or low right now?
Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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.
