Active weather warnings for Virginia
# Virginia Storm Center Report
A Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of west central Virginia, including Alleghany County, through late Monday night (August 18 at 4:00 AM EDT). Heavy rainfall rounds are expected to impact already saturated soils, creating significant flash flooding risks in rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas. Low-water crossings are particularly vulnerable to flooding. Residents in affected counties should exercise caution, avoid flooded roadways, and monitor weather updates closely as excessive runoff is possible through early Monday morning.

Flow report FAQ
About Virginia streamflow
What are river levels like in Virginia right now?
As of August 16, 2026, Virginia rivers are running at 84% of normal across 162 USGS streamgauges, and the Clinch River At Speers Ferry is reporting the highest discharge at 2,610 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.
Which Virginia river is running highest right now?
As of August 16, 2026, the highest discharge in Virginia is 2,610 cfs on the Clinch River At Speers Ferry. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.
Are Virginia rivers high or low right now?
Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Virginia 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 Virginia 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 Virginia 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 Virginia 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.
