History
What this means
Sacramento R A Freeport is running far below normal at 104.53 ft.
It has dropped 0.35 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 102.77 ft and 104.88 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The sensor also reports a water temperature of 63 °F.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
