[STOELB Daniel * OEM]

Good morning EMGIG members,

Please see below for information regarding the transition to the newer National Water Prediction Service (NWPS) system from the AHPS. Specific URLs affected are listed in the third bullet in the email below.

We will update our mapping products accordingly to reflect the new service URLs for the datasets.

Dear Partners,


As outlined in the National Weather Service (NWS) Strategic Plan<https://www.weather.gov/media/wrn/NWS-2023-Strategic-Plan.pdf>, the NWS is investing in its infrastructure and part of this strategy includes the modernization and replacement of the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS)<https://water.weather.gov/ahps/> web dissemination platform with the National Water Prediction Service (NWPS). AHPS provides critical hydrologic information, especially during extreme hydrologic events, and as such we are sharing information here about the transition not only to help you prepare but also to ensure there are no gaps in service.


Below is key information for you:

  *   What is NWPS: The NWPS web dissemination platform will be the replacement for AHPS and the gateway to NWS water information. NWPS will leverage the NWS' Enterprise Cloud System, and a modernized Web technology framework integrating geospatial technology and web services to disseminate critical hydrologic information to you year round. In addition to the enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI), NWPS will include an Application Programming Interface (API) that will allow you to integrate operational forecast information within your own applications.
  *   Operational Implementation: NWPS will officially launch on Wednesday, March 27th.

     *   NWPS URLs are:

        *   Main Page: https://water.noaa.gov/

           *   Existing site found at https://water.noaa.gov<https://water.noaa.gov/> will be replaced with NWPS on March 27th.

        *   API: https://api.water.noaa.gov/nwps/v1/docs/

           *   Not available until March 27th.

        *   AHPS URLs that will be changing in NWPS: https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2023_24/scn24-29_nwps_url_changes.pdf


  *   NWPS Resources: Visit https://weather.gov/owp/operations (scroll down after visiting the hyperlink) to find resources and informational material that aid in the transition to NWPS. Available materials include webinars, fact sheets and flyers, story maps, and a user guide.

Thank you for your close partnership with the NWS. If you have any questions on these new web capabilities, do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to continuing to work with you as the NWS transforms into a more nimble, flexible, and mobile agency providing essential mission services to you and others. Stay tuned for refinements and enhancements over the course of the next year as we work to realize the nimbleness and flexibility of modern software engineering practices, geospatial technology and cloud infrastructure.

Thanks,
Your National Weather Service Team
