Steady · 24 h Below NWS action stage
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, 8.7 miles away, daily means).
Gauge height, last 7 days: 185 readings from Oct 29, 8:30 PM EDT to Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; ranging 16.9 to 17.5 ft; latest 17 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.
Map of USGS gauge 03085152 and the river around it
Where Monongahela R at Point State Park at Pittsburgh sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
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.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.01 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.
