This gauge is not reporting

This gauge is not sending water temperature — its water-temperature series is empty, and was last stamped 11 June 2026. USGS still answers for it, with the last value it ever sent and nothing to say the sensor has gone, so nothing on this page is presented as a current reading. Everything below — the record, the monthly means, the thirty-day chart — is the gauge's own history and is unaffected. The normal is the mean of every reading at this gauge within 3 days of this calendar date in the previous years of record — 21 readings, averaging 52.3 °F.
