This gauge is not sending water temperature — it has sent no water temperature for 496 days, since 19 May 2025. 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 927 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 ±1.7 °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

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 66.85 °F; the fit explains 88% of the variance with a typical error of 1.683 °F.

The water it stands in
