Normal for Nov 5: 1–1.1 ft³/s (middle half of 42 years of record). Now: 1.28 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 1.28 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 42 years of record (1984–2025): 10th 0.59, 25th 1, median 1.1, 75th 1.1, 90th 1.5 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.33 ft³/s, highest 2 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 (+8.5% 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.
