I almost forgot I was collecting this data! Here is a time-lapse animation of the map at waterwatch.usgs.gov, which is described as “real-time streamflow compared to historical streamflow for the day of the year.” You can see where drought persists, and track the sweep of storms that bring streams out of their banks. Also interesting how entire states flicker in and out, so they must be collecting data by state. This animation covers the period from January 1 to May 29, 2010.
