Current Conditions

If you are a charts and graphs type of person this page is for you. After years of neglect we are updating this page with the current generation of graphics from the weather and water agencies.  In one place you can scroll through some essential information on the South Fork Boise River.  Let’s start.

Here are the current flows on the South Fork Boise from Anderson Ranch Dam:

USGS Water-data graph for site 06025500

Flows entering Anderson Ranch Reservoir are measured at the river gage at Featherville as seen in the graph below.

Here is a weather forecast for the Anderson Ranch Dam area, courtesy of the meteoblue website (link here):

Next, below you see a chart with the temperature at Anderson Dam, over the past 48 or so hours.

The chart above comes from a NOAA weather station at the dam and here is a great page with current weather and the forecast.

Third, below you see the flows from Anderson Ranch since the beginning of the water year, October 1.  The blue line is this year, the green line represents flows last year, and the long term average is the red line.

Next, the chart below shows how much water is sitting in Anderson Ranch Reservoir.  Like the one above this chart shows the status for this water year (since October 1) in blue, last year in green and the average in red.

Next is another temperature chart.  Here is the situation at Prairie.  It’s away from the river but it gives you a sense of the spot temperatures over the past couple of days.

Now we move to the upper part of the watershed.  Below is a chart showing the flows in the upper South Fork Boise River at the gage near Featherville over the past seven days or so.

And the last graph below shows the flows at Featherville since the beginning of the water year.
