What this means

At 7.22 ft, Commissioner Creek at US 441, at McIntyre is far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.70 ft below the median of 7.92 ft for mid-October, based on 17 years of readings. It is 5.78 ft below the flood stage of 13.00 ft. A year ago it stood at 7.57 ft (−0.35 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 7.03 ft and 8.90 ft.

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

What the stage means on the water

Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.

The National Weather Service puts flood stage for this gauge at 13.00 ft, still 5.78 ft away.

What happens at each level

25.00 ft
Major flooding begins. Widespread flooding inundates the woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 441 or Georgia Highway 29. The water level begins to flood portions of the road and the bridge will be closed.
22.00 ft
Moderate flooding occurs and expands further into the natural flood plain and woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 441 or Georgia Highway 29. The water level begins to reach the bottom of the bridge and state officials will likely close the road at the bridge.
19.00 ft
Minor flooding continues and expands further into the natural flood plain and woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 441 or Georgia Highway 29.
16.00 ft
Minor flooding continues and expands further into the natural flood plain and woodlands along the creek upstream and downstream from the gage on U.S. Highway 441 or Georgia Highway 29.
