Bufkit Forecasts
Introduction
BUFKIT is a forecast profile visualization and analysis tool kit developed by the
staff at the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Buffalo and the Warning Decision
Training Branch (WDTB) in Norman, OK. BUFKIT is used in the public, private, and
educational meteorological sectors in both the US and Canada. BUFKIT is available
to anyone who is interested in the analysis of forecast hourly profiles.
What's New with Bufkit
RUC replaced by the RAP.
The RUC forecast model was recently replaced by the RAP. Our web
site now provides the RAP forecast profiles with a RAP filename.
The links on this page have been updated but you may need to check
your download mechanism and replace RUC with RAP in the model list
in the Bufkit "Set up" which can be accessed from the upper right
of the Bufkit application. Note the "BufGet" profile has been
updated for the name change.
The
SREF Bufkit profiles now include the SREF ensemble mean in
addition to the 21 other SREF members.
We are now providing Bufkit forecasts from the NAM 4km nest guidance.
The filenames are notes as �nam4km�. The "BufGet" profile has been
updated with the new data set.
NWS Raleigh has created a "BufGet" Profile which allows users to quickly and efficiently
download Bufkit data from a GUI. The "BufGet" Profile is configurable and can be edited based on your needs. The NWS Raleigh
"BufGet" Profile, noted as "R" for RAH is setup to download a handful of Bufkit profiles for central NC for the
RAP, NAM, GFS3, SREF, NAM4KM, ARW, tRAP, tNAM, and tGFS3. You can download the NWS Raleigh
"BufGet" Profile here and learn more about "BufGet" Profiles from this
video.
