More Weather Grids Become Official
Roland Nuñez
Senior Forecaster
pic The National Weather Service (NWS) has declared three more digital weather element grids official: Temperature, Dew Point Temperature, and Weather. Combined with the Maximum (High) Temperature, Minimum (Low) Temperature, and 12 hour Probability of Precipitation which previously became operational, these six weather grids are part of the NWS’s effort to provide you accurate and detailed forecasts in a graphical form.

Other experimental forecast elements are available, including sky cover, quantitative precipitation (QPF), snow amount, wind direction, and wind speed. These elements will continue to be experimental until software upgrades and final quality assessments are completed.

These grids are available in the national scale at: http://weather.gov/forecasts/graphical/sectors/

For a look at our regional forecast: http://weather.gov/forecasts/graphical/sectors/southplains.php
