AI Model Predicts Floods 5 Days in Advance With Current Accuracy
- AI model can predict flooding 5 days out, as good as or better than current 1-day warnings
- Handles predictions for both small and extreme weather events
- Trained on over 5,000 stream gauges to apply to ungauged areas
- Could improve flood prediction access for developing regions
- Published in Nature based on study by Grey Nearing et al
