Map of USGS gauge 09058000 and the river around it
Where COLORADO RIVER NEAR KREMMLING, CO sits, with 3 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 Colorado Parks and Wildlife uses are 71°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 513–707 ft³/s (middle half of 78 years of record). Now: 209 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 209 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 78 years of record: 10th 443, 25th 513, median 595, 75th 707, 90th 813 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 383 ft³/s, highest 1,380 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 (−3.2% 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.
This gauge is on our page for Colorado River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
