Storms

No National Weather Service flood alert has named any of Aransas, Bee, Brooks, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Live Oak, Nueces, Refugio and San Patricio counties since this site began recording alerts here on October 23, 2026. Each new event gets its own page, with every gauge's peak, automatically.

Reading these gauges

USGS gauges report gage height: the water surface above each gauge's own zero, not a depth. Where that zero is set at 0 ft on a vertical datum the gage height is also an elevation; each gauge page says which. The NWS flood stages (action, minor, moderate and major) are the National Weather Service's references for each location, shown only where the NWS reads the same scale as USGS. How this site works.
