NCEP Data and 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. Contact Steve for more information.

Credits: NCEP GFS, and RAP data from the National Center for Envoromental Prediction. The surface maps are created with Digital Atmosphere from Weather Graphics Technologies. The forecast model maps were created using the Grid Analysis and Display System software.

Weather at home

Current weather from my Davis weather station in the back of my house. This is updated every 15 minutes starting at :04.


Current Observed and RAP Analyses

The "observed data" is updated at :45; the RAP analyses plots are updated at around :57, so each will generally be about an hour old. 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.

Operational WRF Products

I am running custom WRF configurations over several domains both inside and outside the United States. You can view the output from all of the jobs at the WRF page. Also check out the verification page that accompanies the Florida runs.
