-
National Weather Service Forecasts
-
Weather forecasts for the entire United States. Includes specialized products like severe weather forecasts, satellite imagery and current weather maps.
|
|
-
Medium Range Forecasts
-
Forecast maps for the US for different products including winds, temperatures, precipitation and for 0 to 7 days.
|
|
-
Week two ensemble forecasts
-
Using an ensemble of NCEP model runs, predictions of variables including 500mb height, 250mb winds, 85mb0 temperature and precipitation are made. Prediction maps show upper and low tercile anomalies, average ensemble values and verifications. Slightly different initial conditions for
each model run help reduce the effect of variability due to non-resolved processes.

-
Linear Inverse Modeling Medium
Range Forecasts
-
Experimental empirical medium-range forecasts of anomalous 250 and
750 mb streamfunction in the Northern Hemisphere and anomalous tropical
heating. Forecast leads are two to six weeks ahead. Week 2
forecast skill is comparable with the NCEP MRF ensemble.

-
10 day Outlooks
-
COLA
plots the MRF model forecast results at 10 days for
temperature, precipitation and soil moisture over various parts
of the globe (US, Europe, Africa, etc. ). Shorter term forecasts are also available.

|
-
Seasonal US
precipitation and temperature forecasts
-
NOAA's CPC calculates forecasts over the US of temperature and
precipitation for lead times of 2 weeks through 12 months. They
also include a discussion of how to interpret plots.
