Special Weather Statement
“Special Weather Statement issued October 29 at 7:00AM CDT by NWS Sioux Falls SD”
Areas of fog have developed this morning, with dense fog primarily confined to areas along and near river valleys. Though fog may spread a bit farther, the greatest chance of dense fog will continue to be along and near river valleys through the morning commute Thursday. Make sure to use your low beam headlights when driving in fog and consider leaving extra time to get your destination. Any fog should lift entirely between 10 and 11 am.
National Weather Service · issued Oct 29, 7:00 AM CDT · expires Oct 29, 10:00 AM CDT · Issuer
  • Elliott Creek At Lawton, IA: water level 72.3 ft · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (72.29 ft) · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Little Sioux River At Correctionville, IA: flow 728 ft³/s · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Perry Creek At 38th Street At Sioux City, IA: water level 6.65 ft · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Gauge 06606600: water level 5.63 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).
