About Event

Cut through the AI noise. Make better flood decisions.

As communities prepare for the remainder of hurricane season and an increasingly unpredictable climate, flood forecasting has never been more important, or more challenging.

Advances in AI, weather models, and hydrologic forecasting are transforming how we anticipate flooding. Yet recent events, from repeated "1,000-year" floods in Texas to increasingly frequent compound flooding along U.S. coastlines, demonstrate that models alone cannot capture the full picture.

This webinar brings together meteorologists, modelers, and flood experts to explore where today's forecasting tools excel, where they fall short, and why combining predictive models with real-time water observations creates a more complete picture for decision makers.

What we'll cover:

  • What forecasters are seeing this season from El Niño

  • Where AI models excel, and where they fall short

  • Why decision makers need real-time, localized observational data

  • Q&A — Ask questions as we go

This session is meant for:

Floodplain managers, emergency management professionals, transportation and public works officials, meteorologists, and resilience planners looking to understand AI capabilities and shortfalls in weather and flood forecasting.
