What this means

Low water at Gum Springs near Holder: the gauge reads 8.97 ft, below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 9.44 ft, based on 23 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.47 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 8.87 ft, a difference of +0.10 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 8.63 ft – 8.98 ft.

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