What is the speed of the Mississippi River?

As an AI language model, I don't have the most recent live observation for the speed of the Mississippi River. However, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Mississippi River's average speed is about 1.2 miles per hour (mph) to 3 miles per hour (mph) in normal conditions. But the speed can vary based on the location of the river, water levels, and weather conditions.
