High streamflow advisory is below a flood watch, which is below a flood warning.
Last year, all of the warning levels were given.

I don't ever recall in the last 5 years ever hearing about a river level warning until the 15 minutes before our deadline to get out of the neighborhood, and I picked up the warning within 5 minutes of it being issued.
Possibly the watches are now broadcasted by everyone and their dog and that's what's different but seems like overkill to read about flood watches 4 or 5 times in a day because there's a chance of 15mm of rain.
