Active weather warnings for Wisconsin
# Wisconsin Natural Disaster Report
Wisconsin residents face multiple hazards on September 22-23. Flood warnings affect the Root River Canal at Raymond in Racine County and Fox River Lower near New Munster in Lake and Kenosha Counties, with minor flooding expected through this evening as water stages exceed bankfull capacity. Simultaneously, dangerous beach conditions threaten Lake Michigan shores across northeastern Wisconsin. Beach Hazards Statements warn of life-threatening waves of 4-7 feet and strong currents affecting Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha Counties through Wednesday evening, with additional hazards along Door, Kewaunee, and Manitowoc County beaches. Notable affected beaches include Rock Island State Beach, Baileys Harbor, Whitefish Dunes, and Point Beach. Avoid flooded areas and beaches; dangerous swimming conditions persist due to high waves and powerful currents.

799 daily readings from 124 reporting gauges. Percent of normal is today's statewide discharge against the historical average for the same calendar day — 100% is normal, not "good". The axis tops out at 160%: 6 readings above that — including the 173% peak in Jun 2025 — are drawn along the top edge, so a few flood days cannot flatten three years of everything else. The line breaks in 2 places where the record skips more than five days — those are gaps in reporting, not readings of zero.

About Wisconsin streamflow
What are river levels like in Wisconsin right now?
As of September 22, 2026, Wisconsin rivers are running at 126% of normal across 124 USGS streamgauges, and the Wisconsin River At Muscoda is reporting the highest discharge at 10,700 cfs. The full sortable gauge table is below.
Which Wisconsin river is running highest right now?
As of September 22, 2026, the highest discharge in Wisconsin is 10,700 cfs on the Wisconsin River At Muscoda. See the sortable gauge table for the full statewide ranking.
Are Wisconsin rivers high or low right now?
Compare the statewide percent-of-normal on this page: above 100% means Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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.
