National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "NOAAWatch" Floods Resources

With flood watches and warnings expected to approach historic levels and continue into at least mid-May in the Mississippi River Basin, it is an understatement to say that many will be watching the water levels, levees and floodplains throughout the watershed in the upcoming days and weeks.

A comprehensive source of information on floods can now be found at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's "NOAAWatch" Floods theme page, including recent flood watches, warnings and statements, and an interactive, radar, precipitation, and river observation and forecast mapping system (click on the map above to link directly with NOAA’s interactive map page).
