What this means

At 2.01 m, the North River at North River is below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 2.09 m, based on 10 years of readings, so the water level is 0.08 m below typical.

The level is falling, down 0.05 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 1.94 m and 2.44 m.

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