What this means
The Kennedy Coulee near Acadia Valley is running far below normal at 0.07 m. That reading is from Oct 5, 2026, 10:00 AM MDT, so the gauge may be offline or reporting late.
That puts it 0.93 m below the median of 1.00 m for early October, based on 13 years of readings.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
