NCEP Data and SMC Modeling Plots

The plots and data you see here are produced by Dr. Stephen Masters Consulting, LLC and are freely available. We ask that you give credit to us if you use these data. We can create custom plots from the NCEP models or data and configure WRF or MPAS simulations to fit your requirements. You may be surprised at the relatively modest computer resources that are required to run your own numerical weather prediction simulations. Contact Dr. Masters for more information.

Credits: NCEP GFS, and HRRR data are from the National Center for Envoromental Prediction. Raw GOES-16 imagry and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) data also from NOAA. The surface maps are created with Digital Atmosphere from Weather Graphics Technologies. The MPAS and WRF simulations are configured and run on local servers by Dr. Stephen Masters Consulting, LLC.

Disclaimer: These charts are provided "as-is" with no guarantee of availability or suitability for your purpose. Always check the dates on the charts to make sure you are viewing the latest available data. Please do not use these for commercial purposes without permission of Dr. Stephen Masters Consulting, LLC.

Current Observed Condtions and HRRR Analyses

The observations map is updated at :05; the HRRR analyses are updated at :07 from the analysis one hour before. The lightning and satellite data are updated several times each hour. Always check the date and time of the plots carefully. You may need to "reload" the image in your browser to get the most current picture.
