Great long-range substitute for the GFS is the FIM:

What exactly is the FIM?

What exactly is the FIM?

I hope this is what you're asking. Im not exactly sure, but I think this is what it is:

Finite-volume Icosahedral Model

EDIT: By the way, thanks for the links Rdale.

Interesting grid spacing -- http://fim.noaa.gov/tk2.png

- Hover over the region you want to see the model for, then hover over Model Charts

Most people aren't going to be able to access that website from their home computer unless they have a JAAWIN account [Joint Army Air force Weather Information Network]. If you are on NOAA computers you might be able to access it, because NOAA often provides data to the USAF, but on a home network there is no chance you will be able to get that information.

 

[rdale]

I just got in just fine, I think you might be referring to another site? It's just their 15km WRF, and for the US the data there is very limited. Better access at thethe http://wrf-model.org/plots/wrfrealtime.phphttp://wrf-model.org site

I forgot to add the exceptions. It works. It wasnt the site I was thinking of.

Probably still rather 'advertised' but what about the JMA. I've never looked at it. I hear about it more and more though.

Earl Barker has the JMA:

I use the JMA alot. Mostly when looking at spreads. But I have found it helpful when dealing with spreads in the medium range models.
