Welcome to
the internet web site for the National Weather Service’s Southeast
River Forecast Center (SERFC). The SERFC is responsible for the
production of river forecasts for all rivers that drain into the
Atlantic Ocean along the coasts of North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida as well as the rivers that drain into the Gulf
Of Mexico from Mobile Bay to the southern most tip of Florida. This
is an area of almost 270,000 square miles. In addition, we provide
hydrologic support for the island of Puerto Rico.
The SERFC staff is composed of 15 dynamic individuals with civil
engineering, meteorology, hydrology and water resource expertise.
The SERFC is
a lead agency in providing a wide variety of hydrometeorological
information to our customers. Almost seven out of every ten
inland-moving tropical storms or hurricanes affect our area.
Consequently, the SERFC plays a key role in the advance warning of
inland floods associated with tropical activity.
The SERFC provides water forecasts for a wide variety of customers,
from five day river forecasts to the general public to as much as a
yearly outlook for water management agencies.
On this web site you will find a vast amount of hydrometeorological
information. You can find five day (at six hour interval) forecasts
for almost 100 specific river locations. You will find doppler radar
estimates of rainfall, adjusted by rain gages. You will find
ensemble streamflow projections for the next 90 days, and rainfall
forecasts and a daily hydrometeorological outlook made by our
meteorologists.
I hope you take some time to look around our site. I am always
interested in any of your comments. Please feel free to send me an
email to let me know your thoughts -- what you like about our
services or what you think we could expand or improve upon. I can be
