History
What this means
Low water at Sanpoil River above Jack Creek at Keller: the gauge reads 2.07 ft, far below normal for mid-October.
The level has held steady over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.04 ft – 2.07 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The sensor also reports a water temperature of 44 °F.
