USGS River Monitor

River Levels

Live USGS river-stage readings with built-in 7-day trend graphs for key gauges around southeast Missouri and nearby border points. Cards now separate true live reporting from stale or missing data so gauges are not lumped into “offline” unless there is really no usable recent data.

How the statuses work now

The colored pill now separates feed health from flood risk. Gauges with current timestamps show as reporting, older but still returned readings show as stale, and stations with no usable reading in the current USGS response show as no data. That should make the former “offline” gauges much clearer.
