What this means

Johnson Creek near Ingram is running far below normal at −0.10 ft.

The median for mid-October is 0.66 ft, based on 26 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.76 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was −0.57 ft, a difference of +0.47 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 −0.13 ft and 0.08 ft.

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