  • Colorado River At Columbus, TX: water level 9.31 ft · this gauge’s October monthly average is usually above 9.34 ft · U.S. Geological Survey · 2 h ago
  • Redgate Creek Near Columbus, TX: flow 0.67 ft³/s · within the usual October monthly average for this gauge · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago

  • Gauge TX071-08161500: water level 134 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 1 h ago
  • Gauge 08117370: water level 158 ft · not enough history for this gauge to say what is usual · U.S. Geological Survey · 2 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).
