Wolf River river
Total streamflow across the Wolf River was last observed at 8,776 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 17,407 acre-ft of water today; about 168% of normal. River levels are high. Average streamflow for this time of year is 5,238 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2016-03-11 when daily discharge volume was observed at 56,484 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Wolf River Nr Landon reporting a streamflow rate of 2,350 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Wolf River, with a gauge stage of 11.71 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 7 different streamgauging stations along the Wolf River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 1,253 ft, the Wolf River At Langlade.

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.

Wolf River
Wolf River is a 105-mile-long river located in western Tennessee. The river has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times when Native Americans used the area for hunting and fishing. Today, the river is used for a variety of recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The Wolf River is fed by several streams, including the Loosahatchie River, and contains three reservoirs, namely the Hardy, the LaGrange, and the Allen. The Wolf River is also home to several dams that control the water flow and provide hydroelectric power. The river plays a significant role in irrigating farmlands in western Tennessee and provides water for several cities and towns. Overall, the Wolf River is an important waterway that serves both recreational and agricultural purposes.

About the Wolf River
Where does the data for the Wolf 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.
