26 gauges report along the James River. 1 is below normal for the date and 1 above. Low and high readings are fairly evenly spread.
The gauges on this page are spread across North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia and Missouri. 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.
