Where BABOCOMARI RIVER NEAR TOMBSTONE, 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: 0.25–0.62 ft³/s (middle half of 26 years of record). Now: 0.38 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 0.38 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 26 years of record (2001–2026): 10th 0, 25th 0.25, median 0.36, 75th 0.62, 90th 0.78 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 1.12 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.
