Map of USGS gauge 07194500 and the river around it
Where Arkansas River near Muskogee, OK sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation uses are 60°F and 70°F.
This gauge is on the same river as our page for , but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,040–17,900 ft³/s (middle half of 23 years of record). Now: 14,000 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 14,000 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 23 years of record (2004–2026): 10th 630, 25th 1,040, median 6,770, 75th 17,900, 90th 34,400 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 300 ft³/s, highest 36,500 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 (−4.1% 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.

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 18.4 ft stage, 16,500 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:00 PM CST (NWS gauge MKGO2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued as needed during times of high water, but are not routinely available.
