Florida FloodWatch

This map, from USGS's WaterWatch Web site, shows the location of streamgages where the water level is currently at or above flood stage. The high-flow conditions are expressed as percentiles that compare the current (within the past several hours) instantaneous flow value to historical daily-mean flow values for all days of the year. Flood conditions may be more extensive than shown because the National Weather Service (NWS) has not identified a flood stage at all USGS streamgaging sites. The most complete depiction of streamgages at or above flood stage is on the NWS River Conditions Map.
