No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: Monongahela River at Braddock, PA (USGS 03085000, 0.2 miles away, daily means).
Gauge height, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 9:30 PM EDT to Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; ranging 17 to 17.6 ft; latest 17.1 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 45 readings from Oct 29, 8:45 PM EDT to Nov 1, 12:45 AM EDT; ranging 58.3 to 61 °F; latest 59.2 °F; 1 gap in the record.

Map of USGS gauge 03085002 and the river around it
Where Monongahela R at L&D2 Lower Pool at Braddock, PA sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.11 ft). 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: Pennsylvania adult trout stocking schedule · Pennsylvania fishing regulations.
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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Dissolved oxygen 9.5 mg/L at Nov 1, 12:45 AM EDT; 7-day range 9.2–9.7 mg/L; more than a day old
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 9.5 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 8:38 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
