Models for forcasting?

I got a new laptop and lost all my bookmarks for the sites that I was using for model forecasting.

I tried a Google search and a quick forum search and could not find any sites.

Could someone please list some good sites that they use for model forecasting?

Please and Thanks!
 
Just a few off the top of my head:
http://www.twisterdata.com - has estimated non-station soundings, comparison of runs over time, comparison of models, and animated loops
http://weather.cod.edu/forecast - allows you to focus on one section of the CONUS, nice color schemas
http://rap.ucar.edu/weather/
http://weather.unisys.com/ - some nice composites with things like convergence that other sites don't have
http://hoot.metr.ou.edu/
http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/sref/ - Short Range Ensemble Forecast
http://www.wxcaster.com/models_main.htm - Earl Barker's difficult-to-navigate site that also happens to have some of the most useful charts

Finally, Mike Geukes page has pretty much everything you'd ever need:
http://supercellweather.com/
 
Everyone seems to have their own output style that they prefer - there are a lot of sources. I have always liked the UCAR maps best for the RUC/GFS/WRF. Like many chasers, I compiled my own bookmark page of the data links and models I prefer and use daily (there is a small section for models on that page). Mike Geukes' site is probably the most comprehensive list.
