What this means

Middle Creek near Minturn is running far below normal at 2.10 ft.

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 2.07 ft and 2.16 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 39 °F.

Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
