What this means

Low water at Pymatuning Creek at Kinsman OH: the gauge reads 4.70 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.62 ft below the median of 5.32 ft for mid-October, based on 9 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 5.16 ft (−0.46 ft).

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 4.34 ft – 5.17 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 50 °F.
