Official Warnings

No official warning is in effect here right now.

• South Fork Crooked River Near Bell Butte, Near Paulina, OR: flow 19.5 ft³/s · above the highest October monthly average on record for this gauge (12.4 ft³/s) · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
• Gauge 14078260: water level 3.98 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).
