Official Warnings

No official warning is in effect here right now.

  • Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Near Seabrook Bridge: water level 1.85 ft · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (1.83 ft) · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Rigolets At Highway 90 Near Slidell, LA: water level 2.61 ft · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (2.23 ft) · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Giww East Storm Surge Barrier At New Orleans, LA: water level 1.71 ft · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Gauge 300703089522700: water level 5.06 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago

River levels are shown against their usual, but not yet judged. A gauge’s usual here is its range of October monthly averages; the reading is the latest 15-minute value, which a passing rain or dry spell can carry outside that range. So no river gauge makes this county Unusual For Here until we compare each day with the same day’s history.

A gauge’s usual is its range of October monthly averages over its record (USGS).
