Weather Models For Canada

Weather models are very important in forecasting what the weather will be in a given time period (from 3 hours to 10 days). Although models has biases and sometimes miss weather systems, they are our best tool for predicting the weather. I have included most of the common models that cover Canada and the U.S.

General Model Information:

Model Provider Model Type Update Times
Unisys ETA Every 12 hours at 11:15 EST
MesoETA Every 12 hours at 2:30 EST
NGM Every 12 hours at 11:15 EST
AVN Every 12 hours at 2:00 EST
MRF Every 24 hours at 10AM EST
SNOW Every 12 hours at 11:15 EST
RAP ETA Every 12 hours at 11:15 EST

Information Resouces:

Learning to read models graphics is a learning process. I have included a link to Unisys Weather Site that offers a great tutorial (I used it) on how to interpret these models images.
