stage, NGVD29 · Oct 27, 2026 at 12:00 PM CDT · 3 hours ago
Hourly averages of the Corps' readings. The shaded band is this gauge's usual range: the middle 80% of its readings since September 30, 2025.
The number is the water surface elevation in feet on NGVD29, an older national vertical datum (NGVD29 and NAVD88 heights differ by an amount that varies from place to place): a height above a fixed survey reference, not a depth. Readings on different datums can't be compared directly.
