What this means

Low water at Arcade Creek near Del Paso Heights: the gauge reads 1.32 ft, below normal for early October. That reading is from Oct 6, 2026, 08:00 AM PDT, so the gauge may be offline or reporting late.

Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly.

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