What SimpleConditions Does
We aggregate official USGS streamgage and NWS forecast observations, combine them with derived metrics (flow trends, turbidity indicators, forecast windows), and expose them as easy-to-configure dashboards. Build dashboards for a single location or multiple sites and display them where your audience already is — your website, your org portal, or hosted by us.
Key features
Authoritative data
We pull live USGS and NWS feeds and normalize the values so dashboards are always up to date.
Visual, configurable dashboards
Choose which metrics to show and how they're presented — graphs, numeric tiles, or compact embeds.
Easy embed & hosting
Embed with a single iframe snippet or let us host the dashboard for you with secure delivery.

How it works — three simple paths

- Embed or host. Copy a single iframe to embed or choose SimpleConditions hosting.
Trustworthy — built on official data
We rely on USGS and NWS for source data and apply transparent, documented transforms to calculate trends, thresholds, and alerts.
About Us
Simple Conditions was developed high in the rocky mountains near Keystone, Colorado. Frustrated by how all the data for our favorite outdoor activities were scattered across the internet, we decided to build a simple, easy to use platform to bring all the data together in one place.
