What time approximately do the 12z and 0z NAM & GFS model runs generally become available on the web for viewing ?

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

It would depend on the website you use... If you run software like GEMPAK or PCGRIDDS and generate the data on your own PC, you can start getting it after around 1440Z / 0140Z.

Most of the time, you can start getting model output 2.5-3 hours after initialiazation time. Your best bet is the NCEP/EMC website, which seems to be quite a bit faster than CoD, WXCASTER, or RAP/UCAR in updating.

I often find that RAP/UCAR is about one forecast step ahead of the NCEP model page. When NCEP is processing the 36hr FCST timestep, RAP/UCAR is on the 42hr FCST timestep.
I don't have my GEMPAK servers up and running since they tend to get way to hot (my server room, aka closet, get's up to 100-110F), but that usually comes in as the data is sent over NOAAport, or about the same speed as what the NWS gets it.
