NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) provides hydrologic (river and flash-flood) forecasts using it's infrastructure of 13 regional River Forecast Centers (RFCs) and approximately 120 Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs). The AHP Services program builds upon: (1) partnerships with other water cooperators (federal, state, multistate, quasi-governmental, and private sector organizations); (2) the modernized NWS; and (3) the NWS infrastructure including the 120 WFOs, the 13 RFCs, and the NWS River Forecast System (NWSRFS), a very large software system used by RFC hydrologists to produce forecasts of time series of discharge and/or stages at selected locations (approximately 4,000) along the Nation's rivers.
