What this means

Low water at Taylor Creek near Selleck: the gauge reads 1.81 ft, far below normal for mid-October.

The median for mid-October is 2.09 ft, based on 36 years of readings, so the river stage is 0.28 ft below typical. On the same day last year the reading was 1.68 ft, a difference of +0.13 ft.

It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 1.80 ft – 1.92 ft.

Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that. The water temperature at the gauge is 46 °F.
