Date Change Tags
2021-06-30 All-Ensemble Mean lines added to MJO RMM charts. See example here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/mjo/2021063000z//
2021-06-25 New page under Features ---> Model Metrics shows how well the grid-corrected forecasts performed for the prior day (Day 1 verifications). This is helpful to see how the models are handling significant temperature events like this weekend's big Pacific Northwest heat. See examples here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model-verification-day1/tmax/2021062400z
2021-06-22 New tropical cyclone tracks are available on the SV API for the American, European, and Canadian ensembles. Learn more on the SV API page: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/api#tropical
2021-06-16 We have made the Houston close-up map floater view a permanent new map called Houston Metro. The floater map projection has been shifted to SoCal to track current strong heat there.
2021-06-03 Zoomed view of Dakotas for wind generation and Bakken support now available: See example here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model/hrrr/12z/dakotas/146-wind-power-production
2021-06-03 New zoom map for New England now available. See examples via the European model here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model/ecmwf-suite/00z/newengland
2021-05-26 New all-model hourly table comparison for cities and regions now available on StormVista under the Features ---> Hourly City Forecasts: Charts ---> scrolling down below line charts See an example here:  https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/hourly-forecasts/KDCA/2021052600z
2021-05-14 100-meter wind anomaly forecasts are now available for the GFS ensemble weeklies - find them under the long range menu. https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/gfs-ens-weekly#power
2021-05-11 New region is added to the clustering products called Europe Expanded for a deeper view into Asia as well. See an example here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model-cluster/mega/00z/europeexp/20210511/europeexp?unit1=F&unit2=in Find Clustering products under the SV Features menu along the top.
2021-05-03 Wind generation model compare pages now update live with incoming model data (no need to reload page). See example here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/windgen/2021050312z/ercot/ecmwf-eps Model compare pages are found under Features -> Renewables -> Wind Generation and then choose from the Compare Cycles drop down menu in upper right.
2021-04-28 The East Atlantic (EA) teleconnection has been added to StormVista. You can find it wherever you see all the other telecon information (API, model line charts, historical composites, telecon change line charts, etc).
2021-03-22 The GFS Op model will be upgraded to version 16 today at the 12z cycle. NOAA ran the 0z parallel, so we will have apples-to-apples changes for the 12-hour maps; however, they did not run a 6z cyle this morning, so the 6-hour change maps will be against the old model. The model is expected to update slower with an 8-minute delay at the start and an 11 minute delay by the finish of the cycle. The parallel GFS Op feed has now ended with this upgrade.
2021-03-12 We recently added more variables and time stamps to the UKMet model on SV. The model goes out 168 hours, and we now have 6-hour panels, temperature anomalies, and precipitation. More variables/maps are coming soon. Find these under the Medium menu along the top of the SV page. https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model/ukmet
2021-03-12 GFS Ensemble Weeklies are now added as a third option to the predict-the-prediction MondayCast page. Find it under the Long menu along the top of the SV page. Or go here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/mondaycast
2021-03-11 North American Temperature Tracker Beta has been added and follows the similar format to the new European ones that show average forecast temperature for multiple model cycles. Find it under Features and City/Region Plots or by going here: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/temperature-tracker/us
2021-03-05 New MondayCast feature uses the long-lead models to predict Monday's 6-10, 11-15 day maps, updating both Thursday and Friday mornings. This feature is available to Corporate customers. Look for the GFS Ensemble weeklies to be added in the near future. Find it listed under the Long menu along the top of the page.
2021-02-25 New line charts are added to the Wind Generation Verification pages to show the change in skill over the forecast period for both MAE and bias. You can find these under Features -> Model Metrics --> Wind Generation Verification and choose the option for Full Period Skill under the Period drop down menu in the upper right. ERCOT example here.
2021-02-15 Teleconnection live-updating change page now shows 6-hour changes in addition to 12 and 24 hour. Find this under Features ---> Telecons and Forcing ---> Telecon Change and switch the option from 12-hour to 6 or 24.
2021-02-11 We now have record high and low heating and cooling degree day national weighted values available in the line charts (click on the legend to add them) and in the tables below as separate rows. https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/wdd/daily Find this product under the Features menu, picking WDD, and choosing the first option, Daily.
2021-02-04 New synoptic maps showing PV, irrotational wind, jet speed and vertical velocities for the GFS: https://www.stormvistawxmodels.com/sv/model/gfs-suite/12z/atlantic/279-pv-irrotational-wind-vertical-velocity Find them in the GFS Operational Upper Level and MSLP tab for North America and many other regions (Atlantic Ocean example linked above)
