Experimental XML/RSS, and GIS Data

The National Weather Service is making a number of its products and services available to the public through new and emerging technologies such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) messages, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, and geographic information system (GIS) schemes. These experimental initiatives and data feeds are slowly growing, so if you don't see something you are interested in now, stop back here later, or visit http://www.weather.gov/rss/ or http://www.weather.gov/gis/ to see what we have to offer.

The following products are currently available through Really Simple Syndication (RSS):

RSS Feeds of Regional River Conditions
Three different feeds are available for many river gauges across the central Tennessee Valley. All sites have an observed level feed available; several have forecast data (only those that are specified forecast points), and many have alerts set up (for when levels approach caution or flood stages). For more information on regional river and lake levels, visit our Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service page.
