RESUMO
Northeast River Forecast Center is in the midst of many significant changes. The intent of the changes is for an improvement in forecast services. New radar equipment should provide better definition of the spatial and temporal precipitation patterns that are driving the hydrologic models. The improved computer hardware should allow the forecasters to focus on the hydrologic aspects of their job and less on the computational restrictions with which they are now often faced. The improved procedures should allow the forecasters the flexibility and capability to appropriately model the river basins and generate river forecasts in timely and accurate fashion. The result of this modernization should be improved forecasts and warnings for all users
