Normal for Nov 5: 40–62 ft³/s (middle half of 38 years of record). Now: 27.5 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 27.5 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 38 years of record (1989–2026): 10th 32, 25th 40, median 47, 75th 62, 90th 83 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 20 ft³/s, highest 90.3 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 (+0% 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.
