The Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southern Region—which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas—provides a summary of the region's weather and climate impacts from the previous quarter, and outlooks for conditions during the coming quarter.
The Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Missouri River Basin Region—which includes parts of Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming—provides a summary of the region's weather and climate impacts from the previous quarter, and outlooks for conditions during the coming quarter.
This system offers a user-friendly and interactive environment for over 1,000 communities in Iowa relating to flood conditions, flood forecasts, data visualizations, and flood-related data, information and applications. The tool helps communities make better-informed decisions on the occurrence of floods and alerts communities in advance to help minimize flood damage.
The Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Western Region—encompassing Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming—provides a summary of the region's weather and climate impacts from the previous quarter, and outlooks for conditions during the coming quarter.
Each season, U.S. and Canadian scientists share data to provide this summary of the Gulf of Maine's weather and climate impacts from the previous quarter, and outlooks for conditions during the coming quarter. The Gulf of Maine Region encompasses Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire in the United States and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada.
The Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southeast Region—which encompasses Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Virginia—provides a summary of the region's weather and climate impacts from the previous quarter, and outlooks for conditions during the coming quarter.

The National Water Model (NWM) is a new tool that simulates and forecasts how water moves throughout the nation’s rivers and streams. Running on NOAA’s powerful Cray XC40 supercomputer, the NWM uses data from more than 8,000 U.S. Geological Survey gauges to simulate conditions for 2.7 million locations in the contiguous United States. The model generates hourly forecasts for the entire river network including high-resolution forecasts of soil moisture, surface runoff, snow water equivalent, and other parameters.
The NWM runs in four configurations:
The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) collects real-time data on ocean conditions, forecasts future events, and develops user-friendly tools to help users access this information. In collaboration with a large network of partners, PacIOOS provides information, tools, and services to help inform decision making in Pacific communities on a daily basis.
