MODS: if this comes across as spammy, by all means feel free to delete or move, but I figured I'd repost what I already put in the Marketplace subforum here since it's relevant.

 

For those who haven't seen it yet, I just wanted to make you aware of a new model site that some friends and I started up back in November:

 

http://www.pivotalweather.com

 

We are currently free and supported by ads (please disable any ad blockers, if possible!). We strive to provide premium graphics comparable to existing pay sites, and we think we're doing a good job of that so far, though we certainly have plans to expand further in the coming months.

 

A few key features which may be of interest to the winter crowd here:

 

- Snowfall accumulation at 6-, 12-, and 24-hour intervals (along with run total accumulation to-hour) for the GGEM, GFS, NAM, 4km NAM, RAP, and HRRR

 

- Point values plotted at METAR locations for many surface maps, including snowfall

 

- Both Kuchera and 10:1 ratio snowfall accumulation maps

 

- Clickable soundings for all 5 NCEP models we have (GFS, NAM, 4km NAM, HRRR, RAP), including a highlighted dendritic growth zone, omega profile, and more

 

Attached are a couple sample images showing off the potential major winter storm this coming week. Enjoy, and let us know if you have any comments or suggestions!

Great site! Thanks for sharing.

Subforum favorite but must be posted. COD radar page is so good if you aren't using radarscope. Has the good gadgets like beam angle, correlation coefficient (will be likely needed for sleet worries), echo tops, and VILS. Not to mention long duration loops that can be saved for archive purposes.

Here's some more:

 

1km National Radar Mosaic (4736x3000).  Great for very large screens.  Configurable for duration.

Main page of same site with great, high rez loopers of geostationary satellite and sounding data:
