00Z GFS now running - should complete in about 1.5 hours

Here's a nice link to NCEP's production runs and schedules.

That is cool. They put it up on their site as it loads, so you get 1 period at a time until the model is finished. Since we're only looking out 2-3 days, we shouldn't have to wait too long.

FWIW, initialization looks good...

So interesting that it gives "Cannot find server"

Works for me...

I don't even see a low, just a mass of rain with a bullseye over SW Alabama and the Western Panhandle.

The 00z Run is complete. It looks like the GFS is slightly more toward the right and maybe just east of the mouth of the river landfalling in Missisippi. It's a slight deviation from the last several runs and may indicate harmonic convergence (anyone remember that?) among the models that seem to want to settle on a MS-AL-(extremely W) FL landfall solution.

Look at the 850MB, looks to come right up the river.
