WT USA Flows and Flood Tracker provisional data from the network of USGS streamflow monitors
Sixty-four floodings are showing active on the USA network of the USGS Waterwatch Thursday, down from one hundred and thirty-two yesterday. WT USA tracks streamflow monitors in four states, New York, Ohio, Georgia and Louisiana. As of this report, Long Island records two sites above 99th percentile flow level, Ohio has five locations in extreme high flow, one of these in action stage looking to flood. Eleven active flood sites are monitored in Louisiana.
Watershed Region 1: Bayou Bodcau Lake and Caddo Lake are flooding near Shreveport and Mooringsport, respectively. Bayou Dorcheat continues to flood near Springhill and downstream at Minden. To the south into Region 4 watershed, border river Sabine carries on flooding near Logansport, approaching moderate flood stage three and a half feet above the channel and still rising near Burkeville, two and a half feet over near Bon Wier and a foot over the channel in the lower end near Ruliff. East Region 4 Calcasieu River runs two and a half feet over near Glenmora and four inches over near Oberlin station. To the south in Region 5 watershed, Mermentau River is a hair over flood stage at Mermentau. Vermilion Bay is no longer flooding at Cypremort Point. See black tags indicating flood flow volume and gauge height, blue tags for 99th percentile flows updated daily here.
Current Streamflows from the network of USGS river monitors in Ohio
Storms through central Ohio have raised the streamflows much above normal to high with five sites recording extreme high, above 99th percentile. Sandusky River is in action stage in the upper basin near Bucyrus on an increasing flow trend for the Lake Erie basin. South of the state divide, Great Miami tributary Mad River is flowing high near Urbana and at St Paris Pike near Eagle City, these sites record the flow volume and depth however the point at which flooding occurs is not established. Licking River and Wakatomika Creek are registering the extreme high flows in the Muskingum Basin, just yesterday Licking River watershed was rated on the drought map below normal as a result of a seven-day average run below normal streamflows. The high streamflow this morning will take some time to move the Licking watershed off the drought screen, more to follow.
At the time of this report, there are no active floodings recorded in Ohio, five extreme high flows and no extreme low flows. See blue tags on the map for streamflow levels updated daily.
