What this means

The Little Pee Dee River near Conway is running far below normal at 11.00 ft.

The median for mid-October is 12.74 ft, based on 6 years of readings, so the river stage is 1.74 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 15.09 ft, a difference of −4.09 ft.

It has dropped 0.08 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 10.23 ft and 11.16 ft.

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