Map of USGS gauge 03107500 and the river around it
Where Beaver River at Beaver Falls, PA sits, with 1 other gauge 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 1,080–3,140 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 1,320 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,320 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1957–2025): 10th 688, 25th 1,080, median 1,910, 75th 3,140, 90th 4,460 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 320 ft³/s, highest 17,700 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+9.1% discharge). 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.
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)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.
