Water levels

Does anyone know how to view any future predictions on river stages? The Mississippi River is running at about 13 feet on the Greenville gauge.

In the years past, if the river was this low, this late in the year, it did not rise enough to get water into the trees or into the Ox Bows. The water just begins to get into the trees and flats when the river gets above 25 feet at Greenville.


Thanks

Good rule of thumb you may already know, but you can take it to the bank.

Look at Cairo's Ohio/Mississippi River water level - roughly fourteen days later we will get half of its weekly rise.

This is for the Vicksburg scale; maybe twelve days for the Greenville scale.

If the water's low this time of year, it will probably stay low. usually does.

River is usually this low or lower this time of the year. Just now time to start getting a little water back. Good site to go look at:
