No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Gauge height, last 7 days: 168 readings from Oct 29, 7:40 PM CDT to Nov 5, 6:33 PM CST; ranging 0.53 to 0.83 ft; latest 0.59 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.

Where E.Branch Starkweather Ck at I-90 at Madison, WI sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Wisconsin DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Wisconsin rule: 68°F.

Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.02 ft). 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.
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.
Checked Nov 5, 6:39 PM CST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
