What this means

At 1.27 ft, E Yegua Creek near Dime Box is far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.73 ft below the median of 2.00 ft for mid-October, based on 39 years of readings. It is 10.73 ft below the flood stage of 12.00 ft. A year ago it stood at 1.23 ft (+0.04 ft).

The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 1.19 ft and 1.30 ft.

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