Official Warnings

No official warning is in effect here right now.

  • Butte C Near Chico, CA: flow 108 ft³/s · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Gauge 11390000: water level 0.59 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago

River levels are shown against their usual, but not yet judged. A gauge’s usual here is its range of October monthly averages; the reading is the latest 15-minute value, which a passing rain or dry spell can carry outside that range. So no river gauge makes this county Unusual For Here until we compare each day with the same day’s history.

A gauge’s usual is its range of October monthly averages over its record (USGS).
