What this means

Howell Creek near Slavia is running below normal at 29.25 ft.

It has dropped 0.07 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 28.87 ft and 30.23 ft.

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