Map of USGS gauge 02476600 and the river around it
Where OKATIBBEE CREEK AT ARUNDEL, MS sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Mississippi agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Mississippi rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks / Mississippi Department of Marine Resources: Mississippi public fishing lakes · Mississippi general fishing rules and regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 55–246 ft³/s (middle half of 58 years of record). Now: 54.9 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 54.9 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 58 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 32, 25th 55, median 138, 75th 246, 90th 677 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21.9 ft³/s, highest 1,540 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 31.5%, from 80.1 to 54.9 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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.
