Map of USGS gauge 09304800 and the river around it
Where WHITE RIVER BELOW MEEKER, 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: 380–457 ft³/s (middle half of 65 years of record). Now: 359 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 359 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 65 years of record (1962–2026): 10th 330, 25th 380, median 408, 75th 457, 90th 534 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 281 ft³/s, highest 657 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 11.4%, from 405 to 359 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.
This gauge is on our page for White River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
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.
