Computed here from the last 5 years of USGS daily values at this gauge — 114 temperature days over 0.3 years and 1,824 flow days. These are not USGS-published normals, and a month with fewer than 20 days of record is left blank rather than averaged. This gauge has under 3 years of temperature record, which is why no normal is compared against above.
