Map of USGS gauge 10163000 and the river around it
Where PROVO RIVER AT PROVO, UT sits, with 2 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. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Utah rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 92–230 ft³/s (middle half of 83 years of record). Now: 70.1 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 70.1 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 83 years of record (1944–2026): 10th 62, 25th 92, median 139, 75th 230, 90th 327 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 10 ft³/s, highest 587 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 13.3%, from 80.9 to 70.1 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.
