Notes:

• Not all options apply to every model. Blank maps or missing data result if the requested data are not available.
• If the "latest" model data option doesn't work, not all new model data may have been received. In which case, try the "previous" option.
• Model data is only kept for approximately 24 hours.
• NAM/WRF (CONUS & AK)
  • Model base times for CONUS are 00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z.
  • Model base times for Alaska are 00Z and 12Z.
  • Forecasts for CONUS are at 3 hour intervals out to 60 hoursi for the 00Z and 12Z base time runs.
  • Forecasts for CONUS are at 3 hour intervals out to 48 hoursi for the 06Z and 18Z base time runs.
  • Forecasts for Alaska are at 6 hour intervals out to 60 hours.
  • New forecasts are generally available ~3-4 hours after model base time.
• GFS-US
  • Model base times are 00Z, 06Z, 12Z, and 18Z.
