What this means
Low water at Raquette River at Raymondville: the gauge reads 2.31 ft, below normal for mid-October.
It is still going down, by 0.21 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.26 ft – 2.87 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
