Map of USGS gauge 03200500 and the river around it
Where COAL RIVER AT TORNADO, WV sits.
Federal guidance. 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:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 61°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022)Normal for Nov 5: 168–594 ft³/s (middle half of 70 years of record). Now: 428 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 428 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 70 years of record (1909–2026): 10th 114, 25th 168, median 333, 75th 594, 90th 1,360 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 7.1 ft³/s, highest 2,720 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).
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 62.1%, from 264 to 428 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources: West Virginia fish stocking schedule · West Virginia fishing regulations.
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)Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 62.1%). 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)Specific conductance 851 µS/cm at Nov 5, 9:15 PM EST; 7-day range 801–888 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 9.95 ft stage, 409 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:15 PM EST (NWS gauge TORW2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 10:24 AM EST. Highest point: 9.9 ft, 379 ft³/s on Nov 6, 1:00 AM EST (Below NWS action stage).
| Day | Stage | Flow |

| Fri, Nov 6 | 9.9 ft | 379 ft³/s |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 9.8 ft | 325 ft³/s |
