Map of USGS gauge 06893150 and the river around it
Where Blue River at Blue Ridge Blvd Ext in KC, MO sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Missouri Department of Conservation publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Missouri rule, with Missouri Department of Conservation's own figure added: 68°F and 70°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 11–43 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 85 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 85 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2003–2026): 10th 9.1, 25th 11, median 19, 75th 43, 90th 148 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.71 ft³/s, highest 340 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 35.1%, from 131 to 85 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
