What this means

Muckalee Creek at Forrester Pkwy near Leesburg is running far below normal at 6.17 ft.

That puts it 0.76 ft below the median of 6.93 ft for late October, based on 6 years of readings. It is 11.83 ft below the flood stage of 18.00 ft. A year ago it stood at 6.58 ft (−0.41 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 5.67 ft and 7.61 ft.

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