Normal for Nov 5: 4,310–6,080 ft³/s (middle half of 87 years of record). Now: 3,310 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 3,310 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 87 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 4,030, 25th 4,310, median 4,940, 75th 6,080, 90th 7,230 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 11,900 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 (−5.7% 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.

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines CDFW uses are 67°F.

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.

The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
