Weather Forecast Model Animator

Open Beta Stage

Welcome to the beta weather forecast model animator champion! This page allows you to pull the most recent forecast model data within the past 24hrs for the 0.25 degree GFS, 12km NAM, and 3km HRRR models.

Setting Up Your Configuration

1. If in desktop mode, use the interface on the left hand side of the screen to make a request for data. In cell/tablet mode, tap the "Request" button at the top and fill the form out inside the modal that appears.
2. Once you are satisfied with your setup, click the "Save State" button. This will automatically recall your setup every time you come back to the site.

What Is A Virtual Screen?

"Virtual screens" in this animator act the same way virtual desktops work in any modern operating system. A "virtual screen" represents the entire area for holding graphics. Once you have made a successful submission, this welcome message will dissapear and this area becomes your virtual screen. A "virtual screen" can hold up to four sets of data. This means that you can setup up a total of 16 different sets of data across 4 virtual screens.

Additional Notes

Important: The "Save State" button will show up once you have made your first request for data!
