Weber River river
Total streamflow across the Weber River was last observed at 1,403 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 2,783 acre-ft of water today; about 63% of normal. River levels are low and may signify a drought. Average streamflow for this time of year is 2,216 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2023-04-13 when daily discharge volume was observed at 18,541 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Weber River At Echo reporting a streamflow rate of 344 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Weber River At Gateway with a gauge stage of 11.96 ft. This river is monitored from 9 different streamgauging stations along the Weber River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 6,652 ft, the Weber River Near Oakley.

Maximum streamflow discharge by year
The single highest aggregate discharge recorded each year. Spotting the multi-year trend reveals droughts vs. wet cycles long before the headline daily flow does.

Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Weber River
The Weber River is a 125-mile-long river in Utah, United States. The river was named after John Henry Weber, a fur trapper who explored and lived along the river in the 1820s. The Weber River originates in the Uinta Mountains and flows through several towns and cities, including Ogden and Morgan, before emptying into the Great Salt Lake. The river's hydrology has been impacted by several dams, including the Wanship Dam and the Rockport Dam, which provide water for agricultural and municipal use. The Weber River also has several recreational uses, including fishing, kayaking, and rafting. The river is home to several species of fish, including brown trout and mountain whitefish. The Weber River is an important resource for the communities that rely on it for both agricultural and recreational purposes.

About the Weber River
Where does the data for the Weber River come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
