Normal for Nov 5: 96–517 ft³/s (middle half of 112 years of record). Now: 141 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 141 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 112 years of record (1915–2026): 10th 50, 25th 96, median 239, 75th 517, 90th 909 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 18 ft³/s, highest 3,580 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+5.2% discharge). 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.
