Is the Missouri River flooding?
The Missouri River is tracked by 12 USGS streamgauges in Missouri. This page compares each gauge’s live water level against its official National Weather Service flood stage, refreshed every 15 minutes, so you can tell whether the Missouri River is running normal, rising toward flood stage, or already flooding. Right now, every gauge on the Missouri River is below flood stage. Gauges without a published flood stage show water level and flow only. For nearby rivers, see all Missouri river levels.
