What this means

Low water at Big Creek near Randolph: the gauge reads 4.71 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 4.70 ft – 4.72 ft.

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