For more than two decades, the National Weather Service (NWS) has delivered river observations and forecast products and services via the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS). The NWS will replace AHPS with a new, enhanced website, the National Water Prediction Service (NWPS), currently scheduled for March 27, 2024. Existing AHPS content and features will be preserved and expanded within NWPS.

You can provide feedback on the upgraded site here.

Legacy AHPS - Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service	Experimental NWPS - National Water Prediction Service

Some features of the new website:

• Mobile-compatible
• Dynamically-plotting hydrographs
• Improved web map functionality and improved base maps and hydro-specific spatial layers
• Application Programming Interface (API) - partners can leverage directly into their own applications

    A summary of these features is on this Story Map

Note: The California-Nevada River Forecast Center's (CNRFC) page will continue to be available with the same look and feel.
