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 70.61 °F; the fit explains 85% of the variance with a typical error of 1.686 °F.
The water it stands in
War Branch.
We hold no coldwater classification for this river, so the page makes no claim about one. The gauge is here because it stands close to water that does carry a designation.
Snapped to NHD reach War Branch (10000500027897), 7.1 m away. That join is what lets the app paint this gauge's reading onto the reach it measures.
