What's happening across the country today
A severe drought is tightening its grip on the nation's midsection, with reservoir levels plummeting to catastrophic lows while the eastern United States grapples with dangerous wildfire smoke from Canada affecting at least 17 states. In Kansas, three major reservoirs—Milford Lake, Tuttle Creek Lake, and Perry Lake—are operating at barely one-third of normal capacity, threatening municipal water supplies and agricultural operations across the state. Texas faces an equally dire situation: Eagle Mountain Reservoir above Fort Worth holds just 25% of its typical volume, while Bridgeport Reservoir languishes at 38% capacity. The situation grows more alarming in South Texas, where Choke Canyon Reservoir near Three Rivers has collapsed to a mere 27% of normal levels, compounding water security concerns for Corpus Christi and surrounding communities. Oklahoma's Lake Hudson near Locust Grove has dropped to 42% of average storage, marking one of the state's most significant reservoir deficits.
**KEY DEVELOPMENTS:**
• **Eastern Air Quality Emergency**: Air Quality Alerts span from Ohio through the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast, with Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, and Delaware experiencing unhealthy to hazardous breathing conditions through Friday as Canadian wildfire smoke intensifies
• **Critical Water Shortages**: Kansas reservoirs collectively storing 64% less water than normal; Texas facing compound crisis with multiple major reservoirs below 40% capacity
• **Extreme Flooding Persists**: Ohio River at Old Shawneetown registers 259,000 cubic feet per second—among the highest flows recorded—while St. Johns River in Jacksonville maintains exceptional discharge at 152,000 cfs
• **Paradoxical Conditions**: While the Southwest and Great Plains face severe drought, several Texas reservoirs show extreme surpluses—Toledo Bend at 2,482% of normal and Livingston Reservoir at 1,242% of typical levels—reflecting the nation's stark hydrological divide
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.

"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."
