    The
    15-minute precipitation data for this station are
    temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Time
    series of 15-minute or cumulative daily values will NOT be
    available for retrieval following the 120-day display period.
    Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the
    temporary classification means that documented routine inspections
    and other quality assurance measures are not performed that would
    make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in
    general scientific or interpretive studies.
   
  
  
  
    On May 11, 2021, the gage height datum was converted to the
    NAVD of 1988 datum. All reported gage heights and stage-discharge
    ratings have been converted and are consistent with elevations
    based on the NAVD88 datum. A conversion factor of +3.41 ft was used
    to convert the old gage heights to the currently reported
    instantaneous gage height and stage-discharge rating
    points.
