What this means

The Caney River at Tuxedo Blvd at Bartlesville is running below normal at 5.24 ft.

That puts it 0.17 ft below the median of 5.42 ft for mid-October, based on 10 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 5.44 ft (−0.20 ft).

It has dropped 0.05 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 5.22 ft and 5.70 ft.

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