A five day simulation of the precipitation over the southwestern United States using a RNWHPS is presented. The MAS model accurately simulates the observed local precipitation, even though extreme values are somewhat underestimated. The precipitation at individual watersheds clearly indicates that the timing of local precipitation depends on the location of each watershed and the direction of the storm path.
