We have 53 gauges on the Missouri River. 17 of them read below normal for the date, and none is running high.
The gauges on this page are spread across Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa. Reading the gauges in order shows how a rise or a dry spell travels downstream, usually over a day or more on a big river. Fall is often a low point for rivers after the summer, until steady rain returns.
