What this means

Turkey Creek at South Windsor is running far below normal at 4.03 m.

That puts it 0.05 m below the median of 4.08 m for mid-October, based on 11 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 4.17 m (−0.14 m).

It has dropped 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 4.02 m and 5.19 m.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
