Storm Surge Flooding Continues in the Outer Banks; Dangerous Heat in the West

Storm surge flooding will continue through tonight in the Outer Banks in North Carolina as Hurricane Erin continues to move away from the U.S. Wind gusts up to tropical storm force are possible along the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts through Friday.

Due to an equipment issue, select river gages across the country have not been reporting since Saturday evening, October 20th. The problem lies with an issue with the telemetry system that records and transmits stream gage data on particular types of river gage systems.  This is a national issue and troubleshooting has determined a fix to the problem. The USGS and US Army Corps of Engineers are working to get all gages back online with the hopes to get all gages reporting again this week. Likely, the data will be coming back online sporadically.

We apologize for any inconvenience this lack of data has caused, especially with the ongoing flooding.

Forecast services will continue for forecast locations despite the lack of observed data.

The local gages being affected are the following:
