No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Texas Parks and Wildlife uses are 70°F and 74°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.83–9.3 ft³/s (middle half of 76 years of record). Now: 3.91 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 3.91 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 76 years of record (1948–2026): 10th 0.09, 25th 0.83, median 2, 75th 9.3, 90th 39 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 1,180 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 (−8.9% 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.
