What this means

The New River at GA 100, near Corinth is running below normal at 2.60 ft.

The median for mid-October is 3.27 ft, based on 26 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.66 ft below typical. It is 9.40 ft below the flood stage of 12.00 ft. On the same day last year the reading was 2.94 ft, a difference of −0.34 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 2.26 ft and 4.18 ft.

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