How is Go2 working for you? This is a follow up of the first Go2 session - though the first session is not prerequisite! If you attended the first session, then you configured Go2 and may have received email alerts. In this session, we will examine notifications and follow up on any questions about the results and settings. If you missed the first session, we will review details on set up, customization, and troubleshooting of Go2 configurations along with frequently asked questions and discussion of known limitations, future plans, and timelines.

Visualizing Current Conditions at the state-level with hyswap
Thursday July 23, 2026 1:00pm - 2:20pm CDT
BCC - Wilson (54 Tiered Class Only)
This session introduces a set of state-level Python notebooks that use hyswap to generate maps and charts of current water conditions. These notebooks are designed to be easy to run and modify, providing a practical entry point for creating visuals that were previously available through legacy systems like WaterWatch.

Participants will learn how to produce 7-, 14-, and 28-day percentile maps, along with HUC-based runoff maps, using reproducible workflows that can be adapted to different states or regions. The session will walk through how the notebooks are structured, how they access and process data, and how outputs can be customized for specific communication or analysis needs.

This is a hands-on, work-along session. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop and follow along as we get the notebooks running locally, step through the code, and make simple modifications. Support will be provided to help participants set up Python environments and troubleshoot issues so they can continue using the notebooks independently after the session. The session is open to anyone interested in learning how to generate state-level water condition visuals using Python, regardless of prior experience.
