Water level Normal range (10–90 %)

What this means

At 2.71 ft, the Snoqualmie River near Snoqualmie is below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 4.65 ft, based on 27 years of readings, so the river stage is 1.94 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 4.18 ft, a difference of −1.47 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 2.13 ft and 5.16 ft.

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

What the stage means on the water

Low water means more dragging on shallow riffles and slower floats. Fish crowd into the deeper runs, and warm, low water stresses them, so play and release them quickly.

Weather at the gauge

Rain in the last 3 days: 0.06 in. Rain that falls upstream can take hours or days to show up at a river gauge.
