Short Term Forecasts

GFS 10 Day Forecast on 9 Panels,
Released Near 4:00AM
An important indicator for most long-term forecasters. Colors correspond to expected nominal temperatures for each period, making it less difficult to discern high pressure ridges. For help in understanding this site, click here.

ETA 48 Hour (4 Panel)
The main short-term weather model - released twice daily
(11:00 am and 11:00 pm)

European Model U.S. Forecast on 4 Panels
(days 3,4,5,6), Released Around 8:45 PM
Always a point of controversy between weather forecasters as to which model is a better indicator (GFS or European), this long-term weather model has a 10 day range, but only the first 6 are available to the public.

ETA 48 Hour Precipitation Forecast
Shows accumulated precipitation estimates for the next 48 hours based on the ETA model.

South America 72 Hour AVN Model
Similar to AVN 72 hour U.S. model.

NGM 48 Hour (4 Panel)
The older of the two short-term forecasts - released 30 minutes before the ETA model.

GFS 10 Day South American Temperature Map
Similar to GFS 10 day U.S. temperature map.
