Normal for Nov 5: 242–769 ft³/s (middle half of 60 years of record). Now: 385 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 385 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 60 years of record (1966–2026): 10th 150, 25th 242, median 509, 75th 769, 90th 1,300 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 43 ft³/s, highest 4,430 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 (+2.1% 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.

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Florida rule: 68°F.
