Nisqually River at Longmire
View forecast for this location

Station and Location Information:
► Latitude: 46.748932° North (WGS1984)
► Longitude: -121.808327° West (WGS1984)
► UTM Northing: 5177989 meters (NAD 1983 Zone 10N)
► UTM Easting: 591050 meters (NAD 1983 Zone 10N)
► Elevation: 2795.849 feet (852.175 meters)
► Recording Interval: 15 minutes

Station Notes:
► All in-water equipment at this site is down, including Water Pressure, Water Temperature, Water Conductivity, Turbidity, and Stage. This is due to a flood event that inundated the former gaging location with a significant amount of sediment. A new site has not been identified yet and the in-water equipment will likely be down until Mid Summer 2023. This message will be removed when the site is back running normally.
► The rain gage is unheated and will not accurately record in periods of ice or snow fall.
► This site records river stage only (not discharge).
► This station may experience problems during and after storm events due to extreme sediment load. Please use the gage height and discharge data with caution during these periods.
