Forecasted Basin-Average Accumulated Precipitation (GDPS - 168 hrs / 240 hrs)

This polygon layer presents 7‑day and 10‑day accumulated precipitation forecasts from the Global Deterministic Prediction System (GDPS), aggregated by sub-basin. It is designed to help hydrologists, water resource managers, and emergency planners pinpoint watersheds facing higher rainfall or snowfall totals in the medium-to-long range, enabling proactive flood risk assessment, drought monitoring, and resource allocation. Developed by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), the GDPS is a global numerical weather prediction model running at approximately 15km resolution, updated twice daily (00Z and 12Z). This layer integrates 168-hour (7‑day) and 240-hour (10‑day) precipitation forecasts into sub-basin polygons, offering a comprehensive view of expected cumulative precipitation. By focusing on watershed boundaries, decision-makers can quickly gauge regional vulnerabilities to prolonged rainfall or snowfall events.Key highlights: Global Model Insight: Captures large-scale, multi-day weather systems (e.g., atmospheric rivers, persistent low-pressure systems). Sub-Basin Aggregation: Delivers averaged precip values per basin, simplifying hydrological analysis for flood or…
