Active weather warnings for Oklahoma

# Oklahoma Natural Disaster Report

Oklahoma is currently under multiple Heat Advisories affecting the majority of the state through Friday, August 14th. Dangerously high temperatures between 100-109°F with heat indices reaching 110°F are expected across central, northern, western, and southeastern Oklahoma, including areas around Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Cimarron County in the panhandle. Overnight lows will only drop to approximately 80°F, providing minimal relief. These extreme heat conditions pose significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations, and may lead to heat-related illnesses. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours, check on elderly neighbors, and never leave children or pets in vehicles. Monitor local forecasts closely as conditions persist through Friday evening.

About Oklahoma streamflow

What are river levels like in Oklahoma right now?

As of August 12, 2026, Oklahoma rivers are running at 56% of normal across 119 USGS streamgauges, and the Arkansas River Near Haskell is reporting the highest discharge at 4,450 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.

Which Oklahoma river is running highest right now?

As of August 12, 2026, the highest discharge in Oklahoma is 4,450 cfs on the Arkansas River Near Haskell. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.

Are Oklahoma rivers high or low right now?

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