National Water Prediction Service (NWPS)

Web design

The National Water Prediction Service (NWPS) is the modern web platform from the National Weather Service (NWS) that provides live river observations, water forecasts, and flood warnings. Launched on March 27, 2024, it replaced the older Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) and combined data with the National Water Center. Orion has served as the sole engineering team on NWPS, designing and implementing the platform's cloud infrastructure from the ground up and managing the full software lifecycle for nearly 5 years.
