hm8 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 NAM maps now available! High resolution (12-km), full hourly through 36, 3-hourly 39-84, same variables and fast generation speed as our GFS maps. Awesome. Quickly becoming one of the best weather model sites out there. The only thing i can think of to add right now is a looping option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okie333 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 NAM maps now available! High resolution (12-km), full hourly through 36, 3-hourly 39-84, same variables and fast generation speed as our GFS maps. Wow I don't think any other site (except maybe Accuweather Pro or StormVista) has the full hourly NAM... I was wondering when someone would put it up for free. And great resolution -- even Accuweather Pro only has 20-km res. Any chance you will be getting the 4-km nest up, or is that a pipe dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantWeatherMaps Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Added Simulated Reflectivity to NAM maps. Also made a few speed optimizations to the map generator script. Any chance you will be getting the 4-km nest up, or is that a pipe dream? The 4km nest is essentially a separate model, so maybe sometime in the future... Based on server load I can tell you it wouldn't have as many maps though (especially not Kuchera snowfall... as it is I'm taking a couple of minor shortcuts with the regular NAM)... you're dealing with 9x the overhead per map vs. the 12km NAM.

Jalba Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hey there, Awesome site I love it. Suggestions: Please please! add some kind of Looping method, either a play button or a way so my "arrow" keys can load the imagine forward or backwards. Also, If you could please do an Android app. I would be your first customer! Especially with Winter coming, i'd like to not miss a model run if im out. thank you!

wxmanmitch Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Added ECMWF maps! Nice job! Where are you pulling the ECMWF grids from? Only a limited amount of their data is free, but I was just wondering where the freely available grids are coming from. I have found the NCEP model data server to very flakey at times for whatever reason whenever I try to grab some grids for some of my work. Seems to be an issue whether I grab the data manually or write a script to do it. Maybe it doesn't like me... FYI, for the NAM, I try to get my data from: ftp://ftp.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/nam/prod/. There's an http version of this too, but I still have issues.

I get my GFS, NAM, RUC, and GEFS data from that server too. The ECMWF gribs are from the ECMWF WMO Essential FTP site. In other news, I just now added Europe maps for both the GFS and ECMWF. An app update is pending approval by Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmagan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The last couple of weeks, when I go to instantweathermaps.com, the home page instantly changes to a pop-up for softwareupdaterlp which asks to ensure your software and browser is the latest version. This, seems to be in a sense, malware, has anyone else had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
