Deterministic forecast charts
GFS Forecast products on this website are available for selected regions and are updated 4 times a day for the 00UTC, 06UTC, 12UTC and 18UTC model runs. Deterministic forecasts are out to 132 hours (5.5 days) for the operational 0.25 deg Global Forecast System (GFS V16 FV3) atmoshperic model and GFS Wave model (NOAA WaveWatch 3 NWW3 multi-grid wave model) and 72 hours (3 days) for the WRF - ARW model. Currently, all deterministic forecast charts are provided in 3 hourly time intervals.
The WRF - ARW model (Version 4.4) is driven by 0.25 deg GFS V16 global forecast data. The simulations of the WRF - ARW model are performed using a nested domain configuration of 12 km and 4 km grids, respectively.
