NPS wrote:The Narrows closes when the flow rate is over 150 cubic feet per second (CFS), or during spring snowmelt. The Narrows also closes when a Flash Flood Warning is issued by the National Weather Service, and remains closed for two hours after the warning is lifted. Check the weather before you head into a narrow canyon. Flash floods are always possible.
NORTH FORK VIRGIN RIVER NEAR SPRINGDALE, UT - Current Flow Rate
Looks like it peaked near 6,000 cfs on Wed
