Snake River at Weiser Streamflow

Current Status: Discharge is running 30% below the 5-year median, with flows down sharply across all timeframes. At 7,070 ft³/s on July 7, the river is tracking significantly below seasonal norms for this period.

Trend Summary:

  • Week-over-week flow dropped 37.4% (from 11,300 ft³/s)
  • Month-over-month decline of 32.7% (from 10,500 ft³/s)
  • Year-over-year comparison shows an identical 37.4% drop (from 11,300 ft³/s)
  • The 5-year median at 10,100 ft³/s represents the typical July baseline; current flows are substantially below that benchmark

Interpretation: The river is experiencing material low-flow conditions across all comparison windows—not a temporary dip but a sustained departure from normal. The consistency of declines week-over-week and year-over-year suggests upstream conditions (snowmelt, precipitation, reservoir management) are restraining flows this year. Monitoring for potential water-supply or ecological implications over coming weeks.
