What this means

Chiltipin Creek at US 77 near Sinton is running below normal at 23.93 ft.

The median for mid-October is 23.96 ft, based on 5 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.03 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 23.90 ft, a difference of +0.03 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. In the last month it has stayed between 23.86 ft and 25.90 ft.

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