Official Warnings

No official warning is in effect here right now.

  • Colorado River At Bastrop, TX: flow 542 ft³/s · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Colorado River At Bastrop, TX: water level 2.7 ft · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Colorado River At Smithville, TX: flow 467 ft³/s · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Colorado River At Smithville, TX: water level 1.42 ft · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · 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).
