Normal for Nov 5: 79–417 ft³/s (middle half of 39 years of record). Now: 89.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 89.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 39 years of record (1988–2026): 10th 67, 25th 79, median 98, 75th 417, 90th 1,340 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 49 ft³/s, highest 9,200 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 (+2.8% 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.
