Normal for Nov 5: 58–97 ft³/s (middle half of 89 years of record). Now: 332 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 332 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 89 years of record (1938–2026): 10th 48, 25th 58, median 72, 75th 97, 90th 114 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 44.7 ft³/s, highest 188 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).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 11%, from 373 to 332 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.
Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.

Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Specific conductance 227 µS/cm at Nov 1, 1:00 AM MDT; 7-day range 225–230 µS/cm; more than a day old
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.
