Service Description: *****THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL SERVICE*****
This experimental map represents the National Weather Service's best approximation of inundation extent based upon modeled river discharge.
The map depicts the maximum inundation extent over the next 5 days derived from the official River Forecast Center (RFC) forecast routed downstream through the National Water Model (NWM) stream network. Forecast inundation extents are available for an area that includes 30% of the U.S. population but will be expanded later as described in the Story Map below.

Boundary of 30% Area: https://maps.water.noaa.gov/server/rest/services/reference/static_public_fim_domain/MapServer RFC-Based 5-Day Max Streamflow Forecast depicts the maximum forecast streamflow over the next 5 days derived from the official RFC forecast routed downstream through the NWM stream network. Maximum streamflows are available downstream of RFC forecast points whose forecast reaches action status or greater. Updated Hourly.
Also shown is the RFC Max Value Forecast which depicts Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) RFC forecast points with forecasts at or above action stage. Circles represent forecast points where stages are changing by less than +/- 5% over the entire forecast period. Upward-pointing triangles represent forecast points where a greater than 5% increase in stage is expected sometime during the forecast. If stage increases greater than 5% are not expected, downward-pointing triangles represent forecast points where a greater than 5% decrease in stage is expected sometime during the forecast. Forecast points are colored by their maximum forecast flood category. Updated every 5 minutes.
High water thresholds (regionally varied) and Annual Exceedance Probabilities (AEPs) are derived using the 40-year NWM reanalysis simulation which is available via the NOAA Open Data Dissemination Program (NODD). Forecast inundation extents do not fully capture coastal processes. The service below depicts the boundary of this coastal area.
