blogmaster's note: Here's several links related to current flooding on the lower Missouri River (below Gavin's Point Dam). I'll keep posting stories here for several days as things develop. Luckily, the Missouri River so far has not been hit nearly as hard as the Upper Mississippi, but the potential for flooding exists if there is a lot of rainfall in the basin below Gavin's Point Dam. For now the highest levels are in the Omaha to St. Joseph reach of the river.
First, though, is a link to a couple useful resources from the National Weather Service.
Missouri River Advanced Hydrological Predictions page (select the gages you want to see on the left, select the information you want from that gage on the river, then click "Make My River Page" at the bottom):

Here' is their map overview of the Missouri River Basin, just another way to access the above information:
