What this means

The Canon Brake HW/TW near Bayou Meto is running below normal at 163.41 ft.

The median for late October is 164.27 ft, based on 7 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.86 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 164.51 ft, a difference of −1.10 ft.

It has dropped 0.82 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 163.38 ft and 164.43 ft.

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