Is Cross Bayou at Shreveport higher than last year?

Yes, it is 0.09 ft higher than on the same day last year, when the reading was 144.92 ft.

Steady over the last 24 hours. Up 0.07 ft over the last 7 days.

Is the level of Cross Bayou at Shreveport normal?

The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only.
