Three stations · One river

Along the Nueces

Upstream to downstream. Tap a station for its readings.

Why are the readings different?

Each gauge measures height above its own local reference datum. The numbers are not directly comparable elevations or road depths. Station order shows the direction along the river; it does not predict when or how high water will rise downstream.

Nearby waterways are not directly monitored here. Popeye Lake, Turkey Creek, Soldier Slough, and the surrounding floodplain can behave differently from the main river. These gauges do not establish local overflow routes, road access, or when water will drain.

This dashboard does not determine whether any road is open, passable, or safe.

About the numbers

How to read this page

Gauge height, local waterways, and road conditions.

Gauge feet are local

Each station has its own reference datum. Gauge height is not water depth on a road. A 20-foot reading at one gauge is not the same elevation as 20 feet at another. Charts also use independent vertical scales.

Creeks and sloughs can lag

Popeye Lake, Turkey Creek, Soldier Slough, fields, and low ground can remain high after the main river gauge begins falling.

Road status comes from officials

This dashboard does not infer whether a road is open or safe. Use DriveTexas and local emergency-management notices for closures.

Measurements, not recommendations.

USGS observations are provisional, and NOAA stage categories are shown where available. This page does not recommend any action or replace an official warning, closure, evacuation order, or emergency instruction.
