Historical and observed data required to generate the Water Resources
Streamflow Outlook forecasts is provided by the
USGS and USACE. Forecasts are provided by the National Weather Service.
Initial text...
The forecasts are broken in percentile categories based on USGS flows
for that time of year. The five categories are < 10 percent, 10-24
percent, 25-75 percent, 76-90 percent and > 90 percent. This equates to
much below, below, average, above, and much above average streamflows.
This product is part of the NOAA/National Weather Service Ohio River
Forecast Center's ongoing effort to improve service to the public
through timely issuances of streamflow outlooks. This product would not be possible without the cooperation between the
partnership between the National Weather Service (NWS), United States Geological Survey (USGS) and United States Army Corp. of Engineers (USACE).
The Ohio River Forecast Center's Water Resources Outlook is intended to
provide long-term hydrometeorological information relevant to river
systems throughout the Ohio Valley.
These outlooks are updated at the end of each month unless a major
change in the forecast is needed in which case the update is event-based.
