Roanoke River: water levels along the river

We have 13 gauges on the Roanoke River. 4 are below normal for the date and 1 above. The balance is tilted firmly towards low water.

The gauges on this page are spread across Virginia and North Carolina. 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.
