weather-model-photo-by-the-national-guard.jpg Ever wanted to predict the weather?

Now you can, using National Weather Service weather models.

A weather model is one of the most important tools in predicting your local weather forecast.

Various kinds of weather models show us all kinds of weather data, including:

  • Precipitation
  • Air pressure
  • Wind speed
  • Wind direction
  • Humidity
  • Temperature
  • Cloud coverage

While you’ll have to have a basic working knowledge of how weather works to make weather forecasts using a weather model, knowing the basics of weather is simple.

…And making weather forecasts is fun (especially when your weather forecast is correct)!
