History
What this means
Low water at Fraser River at Tabernash: the gauge reads 3.33 ft, far below normal for mid-October.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 3.29 ft – 3.37 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The sensor also reports a water temperature of 40 °F.
