Flood Preparedness

Real Time Precipitation and Stream Gauges

MCFCWCD operates and maintains 2 full weather stations (rainfall, wind, humidity, etc.), 4 stream gaging stations and 3 precipitation gages in Marin County.  Placed in strategic locations, they allow us to track the intensity of winter storms as they approach and monitor the effects of the storms in critical areas.  These stations provide real-time weather data, via radio transmission, to our central base station in the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael and to this website.  This data is recorded and provided as historic data through this website.  You can see the location of these stations by clicking the "Maps" link on the menu.
