GFS Downscaling

This is a simple attempt of "downscaling" the deterministic GFS forecast. I have set up two single-grid WRF-ARW runs with a resolution of about 15 km that use the six-day GFS forecast as its initial and boundary conditions. The large scale forcing for this run is totally from the GFS forecast. Currently, we have configurations for Florida and the eastern United States. Other configurations can be easily added.
