This gauge is not sending water temperature — its water-temperature series is empty, and was last stamped 8 January 2024. 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. The figure above is modelled: this gauge's own fitted line, its intercept plus its slope against the 3-day mean air temperature over it, fitted on its own daily record, built from 495 days of this gauge's own record, August 2020 to September 2023. A gauge stopping does not unmake what it recorded while it ran, and the record below is the same record the line was fitted on. Its scatter against that record is ±2.3 °F, and it is a statement about what this water usually does at this air temperature, not about what it is doing. Everything below — the record, the monthly means, the thirty-day chart — is the gauge's own history and is unaffected.
Daily means from USGS. A gap in the line is a gap in the record.

Computed here from the last 5 years of USGS daily values at this gauge — 0 temperature days and 753 flow days. These are not USGS-published normals, and a month with fewer than 20 days of record is left blank rather than averaged.
What this gauge predicts
This is one of the gauges this site fits an air-to-water model against, which is how the map colours water that has no gauge on it. July mean 71.14 °F; the fit explains 82% of the variance with a typical error of 2.264 °F.
The water it stands in
Willow River, classified Class II (wild supplemented) by WDNR — the nearest reach carrying that classification is 0.02 mi from the gauge.
Snapped to NHD reach Willow River (22001200007289), 35.4 m away. That join is what lets the app paint this gauge's reading onto the reach it measures.
