Tallahatchie River at Money water level

What this means

The Tallahatchie River at Money is running below normal at 15.44 ft.

The median for mid-October is 18.47 ft, based on 30 years of readings, so the river stage is 3.02 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 17.51 ft, a difference of −2.07 ft.

It has dropped 0.58 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 12.25 ft and 16.12 ft.

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