Yalobusha River at Grenada — common questions
3 questions
How do releases from Grenada Lake affect this stretch?
Directly and fast. When the dam generates, flow here can climb by an order of magnitude within the hour, with no rain anywhere in the basin. That sudden release is the real hazard on a tailwater. The pool level is on lakelvl.com, linked below.
Is Yalobusha River at Grenada high or low for this time of year?
The USGS median flow for late September here is 2,440 CFS, from 35 years of record (1991–2026). Today sits in the lowest quarter of those years, at 32% of the median. The comparison is what makes the raw number mean anything: the same reading is a drought on one river and a flood on another.
How often does this reading update?
USGS transmits from gauge 07285500 every 15 to 60 minutes, and the National Weather Service reissues the flood forecast for GRYM6 a few times a day — more often when the river is rising. This page refreshes from both when you open it. The timestamp is in the gauge's local time.
