Loading streamflow data...
The flow status indicates how the current streamflow compares to the historical average for today's date. This helps you understand if a stream is running higher or lower than typical for this time of year.
Current Flow: The latest measurement from a stream gauge.
Historical Average: The average flow for this calendar day over the past 10 years (e.g., the average flow for October 19th from 2015-2025).
Percentage of Average: Calculated as:
(Current Flow ÷ Historical Average) × 100%
| Current flow is ... | ||
| Above Normal (Blue): | >125% of the historical average | |
| Normal (Green): | 75-125% of the historical average | |
| Below Normal (Orange): | <75% of the historical average | |
| No Data (Gray): | Station has insufficient historical data |
If a stream's current flow is 180 cfs and the historical average for today is 200 cfs, the percentage would be 90% (180 ÷ 200 × 100). This falls in the Normal range (75-125%), indicating the stream is flowing at a typical rate for this time of year.
