How this water changes through the year
Over 22 years of record, flow on Green River peaks in August, when the median runs about 1,790 ft³/s, and falls to its lowest in March at around 974 ft³/s. Today's 2,180 is up near the spring peak. The band on the chart is where the middle 60% of years fall, so a reading inside it is ordinary for the date and one outside it is not.
