Map of USGS gauge 07289000 and the river around it
Where MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT VICKSBURG, MS sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Mississippi agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Mississippi rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks / Mississippi Department of Marine Resources: Mississippi public fishing lakes · Mississippi general fishing rules and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 266,000–541,000 ft³/s (middle half of 16 years of record). Now: 280,000 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 280,000 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 16 years of record (2009–2024): 10th 217,000, 25th 266,000, median 381,000, 75th 541,000, 90th 969,000 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 209,000 ft³/s, highest 1,110,000 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).
Steady over 24 hours (−0.4% discharge). 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 6.79 ft stage, 257,000 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:00 PM CST (NWS gauge VCKM6; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:08 AM CST. Highest point: 10.5 ft, 319,000 ft³/s on Nov 18, 6:00 AM CST (Below NWS action stage).
