Normal for Nov 5: 7.4–58 ft³/s (middle half of 57 years of record). Now: 5.84 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 5.84 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 57 years of record (1969–2026): 10th 3.4, 25th 7.4, median 25, 75th 58, 90th 97 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.1 ft³/s, highest 298 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 12.6%, from 6.68 to 5.84 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.
