This gauge is not sending water temperature — it has sent no water temperature for 2002 days, since 5 April 2021. 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 301 days of this gauge's own record. 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 ±2.0 °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.
The record at this gauge
USGS returned no daily values for this gauge over the last 5 years. It may report instantaneous values only, or may have been discontinued.
What this gauge predicts
