Where BONITA CREEK NEAR MORENCI, AZ. sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Arizona Game and Fish uses are 67°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 1.5–4.7 ft³/s (middle half of 45 years of record). Now: 4.5 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 4.5 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 45 years of record (1982–2026): 10th 1.2, 25th 1.5, median 2.9, 75th 4.7, 90th 6.1 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.22 ft³/s, highest 14 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.
