What this means

At −0.04 ft, Pecan Creek near San Angelo is far below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 0.09 ft below the median of 0.05 ft for mid-October, based on 25 years of readings. It is 10.04 ft below the flood stage of 10.00 ft. A year ago it stood at 0.32 ft (−0.36 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 −0.05 ft and −0.04 ft.

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