Model output and code for a long short-term memory model forecasting streamflow drought across the Conterminous United States by focusing on percentiles below 50 percent

January 21, 2026

Machine learning (ML) models were used to forecast streamflow drought from 1 to 13 weeks into the future at more than 3,000 streamgage locations across the conterminous United States. Long short-term memory [LSTM] neural network models were used to predict weekly streamflow percentiles with independent models for each forecast horizon. In this data release we specifically include an LSTM model where only percentiles below 50% (LSTM
