Flood status for stream gauges across the central United States on March 29, 2019. Dark blue represents stream gauges that were in major flood status. Light blue refers to moderate flood status and white refers to minor flood status. Numerous stream gauges across many rivers were in major flood status as of the end of March 2019 including gauges along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. A rapid melt of snow hastened by a strong spring storm led to a rapid rise in river levels across the northern and central Plains. Climate.gov image using data from AHPS.
