|---|---|---|
| Minor flood stage | 20 | low-lying roads and fields near the river start to flood |
| Action stage | 14.3 | water is approaching flood level — time to pay attention |

Historic crests recorded at this gauge by the National Weather Service — the 12 highest on file.
The marker is this gauge; nearby gauges load live and are clickable.
The live reading at the top of this page answers that: the gauge is compared against its official NWS flood stages every 15 minutes. Minor flooding at this gauge begins at 20 ft. Blue means normal, yellow is action stage, orange minor, red moderate and dark red major flooding.
minor flood stage 20 ft, action stage 14.3 ft. These are official National Weather Service thresholds set specifically for this gauge, not generic values.
The highest crest on file at this gauge is 13.2 ft, reached on 2014-10-01 — that is -6.8 ft above minor flood stage. The full list of the highest crests is in the table on this page.
