What this means

The Verdigris Coulee near the Mouth is above normal at 0.98 m. That reading is from Sep 24, 2026, 06:00 AM MDT, so the gauge may be offline or reporting late.

The median for late September is 0.86 m, based on 14 years of readings, so the water level is 0.12 m above typical.

It has risen 0.19 m over the past 24 hours. If the rise continues, low-lying paths and riverside parking can go under water. In the last month it has stayed between 0.77 m and 1.06 m.

That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.
