Not sure if this is what you are asking about, but on the USGS website there is an option to show the Median height... Attachment 230459Attachment 230460
When I select "Graph w/stats" at the top, then click GO to the right of that, it displays the current readings, with the little triangles as the Median daily statistic (4 years). Hope that helps if it what you were looking for. It is a little difficult to navigate, but here's the website. USGS WaterWatch -- Streamflow conditions
USGS Current Conditions for North Carolina_ Streamflow
is there a particular river in which you are interested?
For Corps of Engineers managed lakes here are lake levels - USACE - SAW* Water Management
Roanoke
USGS Current Conditions for USGS 02080500 ROANOKE RIVER AT ROANOKE RAPIDS, NC
this is the gage closest to the dam.

this will give you their "guess" of what they will do over the next 3 days.
I don't expect the releases there to drop anytime soon as Kerr Lake is still in the flood pool. 20,000 is very fishable you just have to find current breaks. Let me know when you are thinking of going and I'll let you know what I know regarding flow projections and fishing.
I'm thinking about going Saturday but I want to make sure it's safe before I make that long ride there
What type of boat are you fishing out of and where are you looking at going?
I've got a javelin bass boat. Wanting to go to the Roanoke river in Janesville this Saturday
There will be lots of water down there. Water will be up in the trees. If you are striper fishing, looki for spots where water is flowing out of the trees and cast in close. Take some crappie jigs as there is some good crappie fishing in the creeks there too. May even catch a shad on them.
Missed the part about safety factor. It depends on what you consider safe. I would not hesitate to go but there will be lots of flow in the main river and some in the creeks/guts too. Just be alert if you are drifting to what is downstream of you so you don't go under a tree limb. Also watch for the occasional floating log coming downstream if you are anchored as well as when you are running. Keep current in mind when you are loading and unloading boat from trailer too.
Also check the coastal fishing reports section of ncangler.com
You will be fine out of Janesville. Good Luck!
