Map of USGS gauge 03082500 and the river around it
Where Youghiogheny River at Connellsville, PA sits, with 6 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 767–1,900 ft³/s (middle half of 102 years of record). Now: 1,800 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,800 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 102 years of record (1925–2026): 10th 467, 25th 767, median 1,130, 75th 1,900, 90th 3,530 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 103 ft³/s, highest 17,800 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 47.5%, from 1,220 to 1,800 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.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission uses are 60°F, 70°F and 72°F.
This gauge is on our page for Youghiogheny River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 47.5%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
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 river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 9:12 AM EST. Highest point: 2.9 ft, 1,460 ft³/s on Nov 5, 7:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
