Normal for Nov 5: 10–16 ft³/s (middle half of 91 years of record). Now: 18.6 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 18.6 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 91 years of record (1912–2026): 10th 8.1, 25th 10, median 13, 75th 16, 90th 21 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5.3 ft³/s, highest 39 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 24.4%, from 24.6 to 18.6 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.
