What this means

Low water at Loup Loup Creek at Malott: the gauge reads 2.95 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.82 ft below the median of 3.78 ft for mid-October, based on 14 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 3.12 ft (−0.17 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.55 ft – 3.05 ft.

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