What this means

Low water at Saline River near Sheridan: the gauge reads 2.18 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.18 ft – 2.23 ft.

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