The National Weather Service website (weather.gov/desmoines) includes all the latest river stages and forecast information for over 40 sites in our forecast area, including all or portions of the Des Moines, Raccoon, Skunk, Cedar and Iowa river basins, as well as several others. AHPS stands for Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service and delivers all the above information plus weekly and 90 day exceedance probabilities for stage and flow, and weekly exceedance probabilities for volume.
