Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS river monitoring sites in California
Dense fog, mist, 48 degrees at Visalia Municipal Airport, the forecast coming from San Joaquin-Hanford today calls for high 58 in dense fog.
An area of extreme drought has been applied to the Lahontan watershed Region 6 along the Amargosa River channel, a USGS streamflow gauge at Tecopa indicating 3rd percentile low flow. Coastal watersheds are recording water levels mainly seasonal normal to above normal with two or three much above normal ratings in San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles watersheds. San Diego watershed region is becoming slower and lower with half the monitoring sites observing flows in the bottom tenth percentile. Releases from the Colorado River impoundments are creating variable water levels downstream from extreme low to extreme high. As of this report, there are no floodings recorded in the network of USGS.
The FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC) is the official public source for flood hazard information produced in support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Use the MSC to find your official flood map, access a range of other flood hazard products, and take advantage of tools for better understanding flood risk.
FEMA flood maps are continually updated through a variety of processes. Effective information that you download or print from this site may change or become superseded by new maps over time. For additional information, please see the Flood Hazard Mapping Updates Overview Fact Sheet
