Regional Outbreaks of Severe Weather Through Early Next Week; Early Season Heat Wave across the South

Active spring pattern across the center of our nation with several episodes of severe weather and heavy rainfall expected into next week.

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:
