High flows for January

Posted: 22 Jan 2010 06:11 AM

The featured map is from the USGS water watch website showing the current river flow percentiles of today versus historical data for each site. Black dots indicate record high flows for this date and dark blue dots are near record high. This presents a problem as rain and warmer weather is in the forecast for this weekend. The map also shows other areas of the country at record flows, like Arizona and California, who have seen some very powerful storms lately bring heavy rain and even tornados to that area.
