History
What this means
Bayou Bartholomew near Portland is running far below normal at 11.14 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 11.12 ft and 11.19 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
