What this means

Low water at New West Coulee near the Mouth: the gauge reads 0.19 m, below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.04 m below the median of 0.23 m for mid-October, based on 14 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 0.21 m (−0.03 m).

It is still going down, by 0.02 m over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 0.19 m – 0.43 m.

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