There are 13 NWS River Forecast Centers (RFCs) across the country, and each is responsible for hydrologic forecasts within the major river basins of their respective areas. For example, at West Gulf RFC we are responsible for the Sabine River in eastern Texas/Louisiana, the Rio Grande (which ...
The National Weather Service operates 13 hydrologic centers across the country known as River Forecast Centers (RFCs). At the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center (MARFC), we work to provide timely, accurate water forecasts and hydrologic information to aid in the protection of life and property....
For longer lead times, RFCs have produced probabilistic hydrologic predictions to support water and energy management, but these have made little use of real-time climate forecast information. Answering a call to complete the forecast at the short range by adding uncertainty estimates, the NWS has ...
