Happy #MLKDay from the #NJWSC! Today, we honor the legacy of a visionary who dreamed of a world united in equality💚. The @NatlParkService is also offering an opportunity to experience the wonders of nature, culture, & history without the cost of entry! nps.gov/orgs/1207/start-plan…
NEW WEB APPLICATION – “Water Information from Space (#WISP)” 🔭 👽
WISP efficiently harmonizes #satellite data 🛰️ with nearby #USGS gage data 🏞️, allowing end users to compare satellite-based data to nearby ground monitoring data. ow.ly/5bgB50UGraJ
(Developed by CA WSC).
Happy #NationalCleanOffYourDeskDay! Let’s embrace a 'tide'-y 🌊🧹 workspace! This #hydrologist got creative with her "desk" at a temporary #tide gage at Good Luck Point NJ amid a road closure 🚧 from a #HighTide event. Archived data is available at: ow.ly/LbuJ50UEEef

Hey everyone! Check out this timelapse of the snow that blanketed NJ on Monday, captured by our HIVIS camera at 01482500 Salem River, Woodstown, NJ. 🌨️ Curious about snow near you? Check the HIVIS webpage and hit the calendar icon! apps.usgs.gov/hivis/camera/?…!
PSA: Users of #USGS water data should be aware of the future decommissioning of the NWISWeb real-time data pages which will gradually be replaced by Water Data for the Nation (#WDFN) webpages. A webinar will take place this Thursday, December 19, at 2pm ET ow.ly/yCBP50Us6AR
It's #GIS Day! 🌎 USGS & NJ agencies created flood-inundation #maps for storm surge flooding in 10 NJ counties, showing #flood risk from storms linked to 25 #USGS tide gages. They help planning officials visualize & understand the risks to life & property ow.ly/n7ej50U7MZT

Much needed precipitation is on the way for the Mid-Atlantic region mainly Wednesday into Thursday. At this time, 72hr amounts range from 0.25" to 0.75" with a chance for some locations to receive near 1" across NE PA, northern NJ, and the Catskills region of NY.
ALT Map of 72hr precipitation amount across the Mid-Atlantic ending 7am on Thurs November 21. Dry conditions today, followed by light rain for western and southern portions of the basin late Tuesday. Widespread precipitation expected Wed into Thurs. Could see some snow overnight Wednesday across higher terrain of the Appalachians. Small rises expected on Mid-Atlantic rivers late this week. No flood concerns.
