What this means

The Cossatot River near Vandervoort is running far below normal at 1.81 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 1.78 ft and 1.81 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The water temperature at the gauge is 57 °F.

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