Map of USGS gauge 03186500 and the river around it
Where WILLIAMS RIVER AT DYER, WV sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. West Virginia DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a West Virginia rule: 68°F.
This gauge is on our page for Williams River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 77–321 ft³/s (middle half of 97 years of record). Now: 56.2 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 56.2 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 97 years of record (1930–2026): 10th 22, 25th 77, median 154, 75th 321, 90th 534 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2.4 ft³/s, highest 6,020 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 (+2.4% 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.
