When does Taylor River at Almont, CO normally run highest?
June, on the long-term record. The median daily flow that month is about 729.9 cfs, against 112.4 cfs in February, the lowest month. These are historical normals for the date, not a forecast and not today's reading.
What is a normal flow for Taylor River at Almont, CO?
It depends on the month. In January, half of days historically fall near 115 cfs, with the middle 80% of days between 55.1 and 155 cfs. The month-by-month table on this page gives the full range.
How long has Taylor River at Almont, CO been measured?
Discharge records at USGS site 09110000 begin in 1910, about 116 years, covering roughly 9,200 days of published daily values. The long record is what makes the monthly percentiles on this page meaningful.
Is there a flow forecast for Taylor River at Almont, CO?
Yes. Rivermatics trains a machine-learned model — a temporal-fusion transformer — on this basin's observed flows, weather, and snowpack, and issues a daily flow outlook reaching 14 days ahead: a median estimate inside a confidence band, not a single number to bet on. A companion model forecasts each day's water-temperature high and low. Every forecast is scored against days the model never trained on, and that track record is published on the live gauge screen.

Where is Taylor River at Almont, CO?
The gauge sits at 38.66444, -106.84472, in Colorado, in hydrologic subbasin 14020001, at an elevation of about 8,030 feet, draining roughly 476 square miles.
Can I use Taylor River at Almont, CO data for flood or safety decisions?
No. Rivermatics provides estimates, not guarantees, and the readings and forecasts here may be delayed, inaccurate, or wrong. Do not use them for navigation or for any safety, rescue, or emergency decision. Check the National Weather Service and USGS directly, and use your own judgment.
