What this means

Low water at Rio Grande De Anasco near San Sebastian: the gauge reads 2.61 ft, below normal for late October.

That puts it 0.57 ft below the median of 3.18 ft for late October, based on 37 years of readings. It is 9.89 ft below the flood stage of 12.50 ft. A year ago it stood at 3.33 ft (−0.72 ft).

It is still going down, by 0.44 ft over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.31 ft – 6.57 ft.

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