FAQ

Where does Rivercast get its data?

Rivercast uses official NOAA observation and forecast data for its graphing and mapping solutions. Some locations available only from other agencies like USGS may not appear in this app.

Why does Rivercast sometimes show slightly different flow data (CFS) than USGS?

CFS is a calculated estimate derived from stage height. NOAA and USGS may use different data models, leading to slight variations, usually within a few percent. Stage height should be identical, and flood stages are typically based on height in feet.

Why does Rivercast only show observations, but not forecasts, for my river?

NOAA provides forecasts for many, but not all, monitored rivers. Some forecasts are seasonal, and availability depends on the specific river and NOAA's reporting capabilities.

Does Rivercast have ads?

Yes, Rivercast contains advertisements. Users can remove ads and access full functionality through premium subscription options.

Premium features include custom river level alerts and a companion Apple Watch app for monitoring favorites. Users can also access more than 30 hours of data without premium.
