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, 10:15 PM EDT to Nov 5, 9:15 PM EST; ranging 16.9 to 17.6 ft; latest 17.2 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: 44 readings from Oct 29, 9:45 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.
Rising over 24 hours: gauge height up 0.21 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.
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (gauge height up 0.21 ft). 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.
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, 9:37 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.
