What this means

Low water at St. Francis River at Outlet of Glasier Lake: the gauge reads 0.69 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.15 m below the median of 0.85 m for mid-October, based on 16 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.63 m (+0.06 m).

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 0.63 m – 0.72 m.

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