The National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) is an online tool for accessing real-time (observed) and forecasted streamflow and gage height information for specific flood forecast points.
AHPS incorporates streamflow, radar and runoff modeling to provide updated, graphical flood forecast information.
In normal (non-flood) conditions, these pages are updated every 1-3 days; during times of flood, updates occur several times a day.
The NWS issues daily 48- or 72-hour forecasts for the following locations along the Upper Delaware River:

Flood inundation maps provide information on the spatial extent of flood waters in the vicinity of NWS river forecast locations.
Users are able to display flood inundation maps for various levels ranging from minor flooding through the largest observed flood.
Flood inundation maps, combined with river observations and NWS forecasts, enhance the communication of flood risk and provide users additional information needed to better mitigate the impacts of flooding and plan for more resilient communities.
Flood inundation maps are now available for the following nine flood forecast locations along the Delaware River main stem as well as the Assunpink Creek at Trenton, N.J. :
