Map of USGS gauge 01113895 and the river around it
Where BLACKSTONE R AT ROOSEVELT ST AT PAWTUCKET RI sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Rhode Island DEM publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Rhode Island rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 509–964 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 470 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 470 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2004–2026): 10th 335, 25th 509, median 664, 75th 964, 90th 1,580 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 298 ft³/s, highest 3,160 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 16.8%, from 565 to 470 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
This gauge is on our page for Blackstone River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.

NWS observed 1.16 ft stage, 493 ft³/s at Nov 5, 10:15 PM EST (NWS gauge PAWR1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
