Water surface (gauge zero + stage) at each gauge from Waverly to Hermann, flowing left to right; labelled lines mark the National Weather Service flood levels at each gauge; a gauge with no reading for the hour shown is skipped. Use the timeline to play the last 7 days and NOAA’s forecast (dashed).

Slope removed: the river drops about a foot a mile, so heights are drawn above the riverbed at each gauge (the bed runs flat) and a rise shows at full size; the readout and table give real elevations above sea level. Tick “Show true slope” for the sea-level view. Riverbed approx. — each gauge’s zero (or its record low, if lower); the real channel bottom lies deeper. * Gauge reports the older NGVD 29 datum: within about 0.3 ft of NAVD 88 on the lower river, further apart upriver. River miles: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; ≈ placed between neighbours by distance.
