Active weather warnings for North Carolina
# North Carolina Storm Center Report – July 25, 2026
North Carolina is experiencing significant flooding threats across multiple regions due to excessive rainfall from stationary fronts and thunderstorms. Central NC counties including Cumberland, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Moore, Richmond, Sampson, and Scotland are under Flood Advisories with 1-2 inches already fallen and additional rainfall expected, impacting major areas like Fayetteville, Sanford, and Southern Pines. Eastern NC is experiencing active flooding with Flood Advisories for Dare and Hyde counties affecting the Outer Banks communities of Nags Head, Manteo, and Buxton, while Flood Watches extend across southeastern NC including Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties, as well as coastal areas near Wilmington. An additional 1-3 inches of rainfall is expected through 8:00 PM EDT, with potential for flash flooding, street flooding, creek and river overflow in poor drainage areas, and possible tree damage from saturated soils. Residents should avoid flooded roadways and low-lying areas, monitor local weather updates, and prepare for continued heavy rain throughout the day.

Flow report FAQ
About North Carolina streamflow
What are river levels like in North Carolina right now?
As of July 25, 2026, North Carolina rivers are running at 285% of normal across 185 USGS streamgauges, and the French Broad River At Hot Springs is reporting the highest discharge at 7,720 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.
Which North Carolina river is running highest right now?
As of July 25, 2026, the highest discharge in North Carolina is 7,720 cfs on the French Broad River At Hot Springs. 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.
