Creating and using Key Forecasts

Key Forecasts enable users to quickly view forecasts for particular locations within a project. Users can request to add any location's forecast as a Key Forecast, and can optionally add thresholds to denote levels of risk and action. This feature is available for HydroForecast Short-term flow, temperature, and precipitation forecasts.

Below is an example of a configured set of thresholds for HydroForecast Short-term flows at Trinity River above Coffee Creek. Users will get a heads-up view if flows cross the warning threshold (purple) and the critical threshold (pink) to denote levels of risk and action. This feature is available for HydroForecast Short-term flow, temperature, and precipitation forecasts.

The tooltip feature is active on the Key Forecasts panel to quickly read off the forecast values:
