Alas, the problem here is that your flood gauge Object is not sending weather station data (in particular, the "Fnnnn" flood level field according to the APRS protocol specification for weather data), so it is not recognized as weather data. Also, you're using the Water Station symbol /w (as in a drinking stop on a public service event course) instead of the Flood Gauge symbol \w (or one of its overlay variants specified in the APRS 1.2 extended symbols list) or one of the weather station codes like /_ (this latter code means the packet contents would actually be interpreted as weather data).
Is the format you're sending the standard for all flood gauges? I might be able to add those additional fields to the Weather Alert plugin. What information are the NNNgh and NNNcfs values, and in what units?

i have added a river gauge to the weather station monitor but it reports no data.
However, the gauge is actually reporting the "flood level"
it would be nice if this was fixed and we add alarms for gauge height along with wind and rain to the alerts settings?
