History
What this means
Flint Creek at Phelps is running below normal at 1.01 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 1.01 ft and 1.13 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
Floating and fishing near Flint Creek at Phelps

Weather at the gauge
Rain in the last 3 days: 0.30 in. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.
