This directory contains contour plots of data from the RUC (the Rapid Update Cycle) forecast model. The output fields are the same as the ETA so that results of the two models can be compared so you can make the best estimate of the true forecast. This model gives forecast information out to 12 hours and plots are sorted into 5 directories for the initial observed fields, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hour forecast fields. These plots are updated once every 12 hours at roughly 10:45 EST.
