- Worth noticing
- Ungauged side canyons are marked unknown; the site says those reaches can be where monsoon flash floods originate.
Field notes
The timeline offers snapshots at intervals from three hours to one week earlier, while tapping a river reach is described as revealing its reading. The model uses each gauge's 25th-percentile flow as its quiet baseline and reduces routed rises by about 30% per 20 miles. Its limitations are unusually explicit: ungauged side canyons are omitted, and terrain can hide light rain from the radar.
