Active weather warnings for North Carolina

# North Carolina Natural Disaster Report – August 4

North Carolina is experiencing multiple weather hazards affecting coastal regions. A Flood Advisory remains in effect until 11:00 AM EDT for southeastern Dare County, where 4-7 inches of rainfall has caused deep standing water along NC 12, particularly impacting Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, and Hatteras Island. Water levels have reached vehicle headlights in some areas, creating dangerous driving conditions. Additionally, dangerous rip currents are affecting beaches from Cape Hatteras to Surf City and coastal Brunswick County through 8:00 PM EDT, with the strongest currents expected around low tide at 6:30 PM. Residents and visitors should avoid flooded roadways and exercise extreme caution in ocean waters, as rip currents can sweep swimmers away from shore.

About North Carolina streamflow

What are river levels like in North Carolina right now?

As of August 4, 2026, North Carolina rivers are running at 164% of normal across 185 USGS streamgauges, and the Yadkin River At Yadkin College is reporting the highest discharge at 8,350 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.

Which North Carolina river is running highest right now?

As of August 4, 2026, the highest discharge in North Carolina is 8,350 cfs on the Yadkin River At Yadkin College. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.

Are North Carolina rivers high or low right now?

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