Brazos River · Texas · operated by USACE (Whitney Dam)
By Mike, independent developer behind zovo.one. Readings pulled live from the same USGS feed the operator reports to.
Lake Whitney is at 530.7 ft as of Sep 21, 2026, per USGS data; full pool is 533 ft.
At 530.72 ft, Lake Whitney is higher than 70% of Septembers in 27 years of daily record. Full Lake Whitney almanac, $19 → what is in it
Is that normal for the date?
At 530.72 ft, Lake Whitney is higher than 70% of Septembers in 27 years of daily record.
The median for this date across 27 years is 527.19 ft, so this is +3.53 ft against the lake’s own history. Placed on a quantile ladder built from 9,411 daily readings published by USGS for site 08092500, 2000-10-01 to 2026-08-06. This reservoir typically peaks in June and bottoms out in December.
How the level compares lately
Over the roughly 30-day series the gage fell 1.3 ft; the last 24 hours moved it up 0.0 ft. For readers outside the U.S., the surface is about 161.8 m above sea level.
Check any elevation yourself. Type a level in feet above sea level (a ramp cutoff, a marina mark) to see how far it sits below full pool and in meters.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is recomputed in code from a public government feed, never typed by hand. The live elevation is a USGS gage reading; feet below full pool, the operating-band gaps, the ~30-day change, and the meter conversion are all derived from that one validated reading and the published reference elevations. The reading is timestamped in the gauge above, and LakeLevelNow pulls the same feed the operator reports to.
