STAVROCAST

The main purpose of Stavrocast is to help users better visualize cumulative precipitation forecasts and their inherent uncertainty. The interactive map displays a 72-hour cumulative precipitation forecast from the National Weather Service and allows users to locate specific airport codes by zooming and panning. To generate a detailed forecast plot, select a state and airport from the dropdown menus and click 'Get Forecast'. (Currently, detailed plots are only available at points shown on the map. Hopefully there is one near you!) The resulting plot visualizes the full range of equally probable temperature and precipitation outcomes from the latest Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) model run. Additional disclaimers and documentation regarding specific forecast data that feeds these detailed plots are available at this link.
