Steve's Weather Page

Current weather maps and various model forecasts covering the area from central Florida to the northern hemisphere. These pages contain links to NCEP-run RUC, NAM-WRF, and GFS analyses and forecasts, as well as forecasts from my locally-run ARW and NMM WRF runs over central Florida. You will also find some (usually) current weather maps covering various sectors of the United States. Credits: NCEP GFS, NAM, and RUC data from the National Center for Envoromental Prediction. The surface map was created with Digital Atmosphere from Weather Graphics Technologies. The forecast model maps were created using the Grid Analysis and Display System software. The sounding plots were made using the skew-t display script written by Bob Hart. The very, very cool sky condition plot to the right was created by Attilla Danko and is described in the Apr 2003 Sky and Telescope. Click on the image for a description and full legend.

The "observed data" comes from my EMWIN data feed and is updated at :23. The RUC analyses plots are updated at around :57, so will generally be about an hour old. Always check the date and time of the plots carefully. You may need to "reload" the image in your browser to get the most current picture.

WRF over Florida

I am transitioning to WRF version 3. I'm still working out the configurations and timing of my new setup, while re-writing the scripts that drive the new version. There will be some missing times and missed graphics during the transition, but you can still check my WRF page.
