Missouri River highest since 2013 in Jefferson City

The Missouri River is now the highest it’s been in nearly six years in Jefferson City.

It crested at nearly 28 feet early Monday morning. That’s moderate flood stage. It reached 30.83 feet on June 2, 2013.

Glasgow is still seeing major flooding, over 32 feet. The river is predicted to drop now in mid-Missouri.

We got more than two inches of rain since last Thursday, leading to the latest jump in the river levels.

Highway 87 is still closed between Boonville and New Franklin due to flooding. Route 179 is closed just west of Boone County at Sandy Hook.
