What's happening across the country today
A severe water emergency is unfolding across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, where more than a dozen major reservoirs have fallen to dangerously low levels—many at less than half their historical averages. McGee Creek Reservoir in Oklahoma sits at just 20% of normal capacity, while Texas faces an unprecedented municipal water crisis with Eagle Mountain Reservoir above Fort Worth at 26% of average and Choke Canyon Reservoir near Three Rivers at 27% capacity. Kansas reservoirs including Milford Lake and Perry Lake have dropped to roughly one-third of normal levels. The situation is particularly dire for North Texas communities, where Bridgeport Reservoir (38% of average) and Richland-Chambers Reservoir (34% of average) serve millions of residents. This multi-state drought emergency threatens drinking water supplies, agricultural operations, and recreation economies across the region, even as the Ohio River and Mississippi River systems in the Midwest and Southeast experience elevated flows from recent precipitation.
**Key Developments:**
- **Extreme reservoir depletion**: At least 15 major reservoirs across TX, OK, and KS now at 50% or below historical averages, with some approaching critical thresholds
- **Municipal water impact**: Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area faces mounting supply concerns with multiple source reservoirs severely depleted
- **Regional disparity**: While the South-Central states face historic drought, major rivers including the Ohio (259,000 cfs at Old Shawneetown) and St. Johns River in Florida (152,000 cfs) report high flows
- **Wildfire activity**: The Coyner Fire in Central Oregon and a 2,000-acre blaze in Boise Foothills compound Western drought concerns, with ADEQ issuing air quality alerts
- **Flood threats persist elsewhere**: Storm systems bringing flood risks to the DC region and Susquehanna Valley, while Jersey Shore facilities experienced flooding from recent heavy rainfall
- **Limited snowpack**: Minimal new snow reported outside Alaska, where Imnaviat Creek received 6 inches, indicating continued dry conditions in critical Western watersheds
Every layer that matters,
updated as the day unfolds.
Each layer is built around a real question — what the snow is doing, what the rivers are running at, what the weather's about to throw at you, where you can head this weekend.
What the snow is doing
800+ SNOTEL stations with depth and SWE history, NOHRSC analysis painted across every western range, and 24/48/72‑hour snowfall forecasts on top.
What the rivers are running at
10,000+ USGS streamgauges with live cfs, reservoir storage, watershed boundaries, FEMA flood zones, and a 15‑day flow forecast at every gauge.
The weather that drives it all
Air temperature, last‑24h precipitation, NWS warnings (snow / fire / flood), the drought monitor, and smoke advection — everything that turns conditions into action.
Where you can head out
Ski areas, paddle runs, fishing access, campgrounds, boat ramps, points of interest. Tap any pin for the full report linked to nearest gauge and weather.

Built with the people who use it daily.
"Lives in the Front Range, this is the first snow app that doesn't make me cross-reference NRCS, NOHRSC, and the local ski-resort blog."
"Push alerts on the gauge that drops me into Section IV. I haven't missed a window all spring. Game changer for paddle planning."
"The Nearby tab is what finally got my non-app-people friends on board. They tap it once and see everything within an hour's drive."
"Reservoir storage trends + watershed boundaries on one map. I previously had to bounce between three USBR sites. This saves me hours every week."
"Tapped a fishing access in Idaho, popup showed the closest gauge, water temp, and what species are in the river. That's a tackle-shop conversation in one screen."
"Set freeze-warning alerts on every NWS zone covering my orchard. The push lands earlier than the email I used to wait for. Worth its weight."
