Computed here from the last 5 years of USGS daily values at this gauge — 150 temperature days over 0.4 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.
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 75.39 °F; the fit explains 86% of the variance with a typical error of 2.415 °F.
The water it stands in
Jackson River, classified Class V (stocked holdover) by VDWR — the nearest reach carrying that classification is 0.03 mi from the gauge.
Snapped to NHD reach Jackson River (10000300007548), 13.7 m away. That join is what lets the app paint this gauge's reading onto the reach it measures.
