Official Warnings

No official warning is in effect here right now.

• Lemon Creek At Amboy Road At Pleasant Plains, NY: water level 0.88 ft · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (0.79 ft) · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
• Richmond Creek At Lighthouse Avenue At Richmond, NY: water level 1.02 ft · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (0.98 ft) · 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).
