<br /> <br />Accurate river forecasts require regular gage readings. <br />Normally, river gages are read at 7:00 a.m. and reported to the <br />National Weather Service. During periods of high water, special <br />gage readings may be requested at 1:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 1:00 <br />a.m. Your local weather service office can help you determine <br />proper reporting procedures. <br /> <br />Notes <br /> <br />Feet Above River Gage <br />MSL - Reading <br /> - <br />545'- -5.0' <br />544'- - 4.0' <br />543'- - 3.0' <br />542'- -2.0' <br />541'- - -1.0' <br /> - <br />540'- <br />Staff Gage <br />Zero = 540' MSL <br /> <br />The locations of USGS river ~a~es maybe obtained directly <br />from local USGS stations or from the National Weather Service. <br />Gage information print-outs usually give the latitude and longitude <br />of the site, a physical description of the site such as the name of a: <br />highway or bridge, and whether the gage is on the left or right bank <br />of the river.
