Frequently asked questions

Is the Elk Creek flooding right now?

No gauge on the Elk Creek has a current reading, so these historical records cannot establish whether the river is flooding now. Follow current National Weather Service warnings.

How high is the Elk Creek?

No gauge is reporting a level right now.

Where is the Elk Creek measured?

The National Weather Service and USGS operate one gauge on the Elk Creek, at Doty, WA.

What does flood stage mean?

Flood stage is the height at which a river begins to cause problems at that specific location. On the Elk Creek it is set for the gauge at Doty, WA, so it describes conditions there rather than along the whole river. Action stage is the lower level at which forecasters start watching closely.

River stages and flood categories from the NOAA National Weather Service; daily history from the U.S. Geological Survey. For flood safety decisions always follow official National Weather Service warnings.
