What this means

The Salmon River at Pineville is running below normal at 5.37 ft.

It has dropped 0.07 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 5.31 ft and 5.49 ft.

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

Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
